Little could anyone foresee how uncertain COVID-19 would make the immediate future, nor how much would change in such a short space of time.

You may have read in the news about the financial challenges that charities are facing at this time and, unfortunately, R.A.B.I is no exception. We have had to cancel all our fundraising events until further notice and the level of income we can generate from our investments has also fallen significantly.

Despite the dramatic fall in our income as a result of this dreadful pandemic, R.A.B.I. remains committed to providing support to anyone in farming who needs our help.  Our teams are working remotely from homes across England and Wales and we are open as usual to provide support to anyone in the farming community. These are extremely challenging times so please do continue to encourage calls for help or advice via our Freephone Helpline 0800 188 4444.

If you can, please consider supporting our services by giving a donation via www.justgiving.com/rabi

Every donation is hugely appreciated. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to R.A.B.I. With your continued help and support we will work though this challenging period and emerge with new skills to help our farming community.

Keep safe and well.
