The Farming Help partnership is a collaboration between Addington Fund and The Farming Community Network.
The Addington Fund is a truly unique charity that helps farmers in severe financial difficulty.
We invest in property and let at a cheaper rate, providing homes for retiring farmers or farmers who have to leave their tenancy.
We also provide feed and forage to those who have insufficient supplies due to natural disaster, bad weather or even just a case of bad luck.
The Farming Community Network (FCN) is a voluntary organisation that supports farmers and families within the farming community through difficult times and periods of change.
FCN runs a confidential national helpline and e-helpline, which is open every day of the year from 7am-11pm, and has approximately 400 volunteers located throughout England and Wales who understand farming life and its unique pressures.
These volunteers provide free, confidential, pastoral support to anyone who seeks help, regardless of whether the issue is personal, family or business-related. FCN also operates the FarmWell website - which provides a wide range of resources to support farmers’ health, wellbeing and business resilience.
Additional local contacts and groups can be found on the Get Support page on FarmWell, here.
