Let’s picnic! Get together to enjoy the great outdoors and support British farmers

After months of restrictions on events and social activities, RABI is inviting you to take part in its #LetsPicnic fundraising initiative this summer.

The idea is simply to encourage you to enjoy good food and good company, all in the surrounds of the great British countryside with a good old-fashioned picnic.

The perfect summer pick me up

As restrictions gradually ease, a picnic seems like a responsible way to get together while raising money for RABI’s important work. After all who doesn’t love a picnic? There are three great benefits to taking part.

1. Who you’re with

Spending some quality time socialising with loved ones is a great way to boost your well-being.

2. Where you are

A picnic is a great opportunity to get outdoors and explore. You can be as adventurous as you please, or even host one in your front room if the weather is wet.

3. What you eat

Throughout lockdown, our farmers have worked tirelessly to feed the nation. Be sure to pack some delicious local produce, grown by our amazing farmers.

Take part in Let’s Picnic

Support farming people by making a suggested donation of £5 when you host your own picnic.
