Farm Safety Community Champions Ned Kearney, Maura Canning, Bernie Wade, Geraldine Delaney, Mary Oakley, Niamh Monahan, Robert Lally, (Front) Alma Jordan, Irish Rural Link, and Aisling Kelly
Irish Rural Link has launched a new farm safety initiative focused on combatting labour and isolation concerns on Irish farms.
The Farm Safety Community Champion programme will equip local communities with a representative to act as a Champion for farmer safety and wellbeing.
Funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the initiative was spurred on by the decline of local farming networks, leading to a lack of social connection and workforce shortages.
By offering rural citizens an opportunity to reach out and offer support, this project will help ensure that the safety and well-being of the farming community is always a priority.
You can find your local Farm Safety Community Champion on www.farmers4safety.ie/
