We raise awareness of farm safety to support the farmers of tomorrow.

Story

Brackley Town Council will be hosting its second Christmas Tractor Run on Sunday 11 December at 6pm in order to raise money for Yellow Wellies. Yellow Wellies is an award-winning charity that supports the physical and mental wellbeing of UK farmers. Last year, we raised an amazing £2,135.00 for the charity and we hope to raise even more this year!

The foundation works closely to help raise awareness of farm safety among young farmers, challenge and change attitudes towards farming safety and reduce the toll of the injuries and fatalities which bring heartbreak and misery to numerous families and rural communities every year.

We are asking all local farmers/residents who wish to enter their tractor into the run and decorate with fairy lights/festive decorations and do a loop of Brackley to help support this event. It is FREE to enter your tractor into the run. Tractors will have priority in the run, any other vehicles will be welcome space permitting.

If you would like an application form to enter the Tractor Run, please email georgia.connor@brackleynorthants-tc.gov.uk. Thank you. 

About the charity

The Farm Safety Foundation

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1159000
Rising concern over the continuing high level of fatal and life-changing injury accidents on farms prompted NFU Mutual to set up a charitable foundation to help all farmers, and especially young farmers, work more safely. The Foundation works closely with farmers, the farming unions and a range of farming organisations, including the Farm Safety Partnerships of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, to help reduce the toll of fatal and serious injury accidents which, regrettably, have made farming the most dangerous occupation in the UK. The Foundation's 'Yellow Wellies' campaign specifically targets young farmers aged 16 to 40 years of age.
