Story
This is the fundraising page of Lancashire Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs.
In Lancashire there are 19 local Young Farmers clubs providing
opportunities for over 700 young people. Each club has an elected
Management Committee of young people who are supported by past members. The County Federation provides a large range of services to the Clubs including competitions, events, education, training, promotion and development. All these things instil skills like leadership, team
building and life skills needed for a successful future. Above all
giving the members the confidence to air their views, make a change and be a strong individual.
We have recently celebrated our 75th Anniversary and throughout this time both local clubs and the county federation have successfully adapted to a changing environment and the changing needs of young people in rural communities. Over our 75 year history we have had many notable achievements, not least surviving throughout arguably one of the most challenging periods in history, including World War II, massive changes in the agricultural industry, a number of recessions, foot and mouth and a reduction in government and council funding.
Now the Young Farmers' community is facing a funding crisis due to Covid-19. For the first time in 89 years we have launched a national fundraising campaign to help secure the future of YFCs. Please help us so that we do not loose vital services for rural young people.
