✨We wanted to share something really special from our recent dinner.✨

Last year, we took on the Belfast marathon relay as a club, and at our anniversary dinner we were proud to present a cheque for £2500 to Marie Curie in honour of Stuart Dickson, valued club and committee member Arron Dickson’s dad.

It meant a lot to be able to support such an important cause and remember Stuart in this way.
A special thank you to our sponsors Mabel's coffee, McConnell contracts, J Murdoch Contracts, Lakeview chartered accountants, Function Design Furniture and RB agri repairs.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported us along the way — we couldn’t have done it without you all 💛 💛

Emma McClenaghan (club leader), Kathryn McKeag (club secretary) and Arron Dickson were joined by Stuart’s brother Ian Dickson to present the cheque to Joan from Marie curie 💛💛

💛Su***de Awareness & Prevention e-learning Module 💛

Strong communities start with looking after our own wellbeing 🌾

This online course aims to raise awareness, help identify when someone might be struggling, and give us the confidence to reach out and support each other.

⭐️we encourage all members to take part ⭐️

💛 Su***de Awareness & Prevention eLearning Module 💛

Looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our farms 😊

In proud partnership with the Farm Safety Foundation, we’re encouraging all members to take part in our su***de awareness and prevention e-learning module. This important resource is designed to help you recognise the signs, start conversations, and support those who may be struggling.

Together, we can help break the stigma and look out for one another across our rural communities ✨
