How it came about
A decision taken at the first forum
In 2017 the Worshipful Company of Farmers was instrumental in gathering together many of the individuals and organisations working in the UK farming health and wellbeing arena, for what was a first of its kind national forum.
One output of that first forum was the decision to compile and publish a national directory of the resources available — so that farmers, their friends, their families and their supporters could be pointed to the help that exists in their local area.
The YANA Project — You Are Not Alone — compiled, funded, printed and distributed the directory, making no charge for the first thousand copies or the postage. It was launched during Farm Safety Week and has been extremely well received: charities, businesses, the police, the NHS and public health bodies have all asked for copies.
It shows that there is a real network of support across the UK. More groups have made themselves known since the launch, and the Company will over time publish more detail about the work of each organisation in the directory.
