Ifor's DPJ Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture
Fundraising for The DPJ Foundation
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
With a strong connection within the agriculture industry, I understand the challenges encountered by everyone involved with producing top quality and safe food for everyone to enjoy. This involves looking after animals with very high welfare standards, working long hours in very changeable weather conditions. I believe many underestimate the work and pressures involved with this vital service in providing for others. The industry often brings new and unplanned challenges creating additional stresses at times.
I believe it’s vital for everyone to have a safe environment to discuss and share any concerns which might arise from time to time.
The DPJ foundation supports those who work in agriculture with mental health problems. They provide fully funded counselling and provide Mental health awareness training and have volunteers all over Wales.

Free · Share the Load is a 24/7 CONFIDENTIAL call line staffed by Samaritans trained volunteers from a farming background. Callers to the line will speak to someone who will listen to them, without any judgement.
In order to raise awareness and funds, I plan to grow a moustache during November and also run 5K every 3 days.
