Running from 29 October to 6 November, R.A.B.I’s Welly Week is designed raise funds and awareness of the work the charity does.

So far this year, the charity has given grants of almost £1.5m to 1,229 farmers and farming families in financial need.

Increasingly, they receive calls from working farmers who need help. The charity has helped 175 working farming families so far this year with grants of over £360,000.

R.A.B.I couldn’t do this without your support. Here’s how you can help!

One of the simplest ways you can get involved with Welly Week 2016 is to get together with colleagues, college friends and club members to wear your wellies for the day and each donate £1 to R.A.B.I by a text message.

Send RABI18£1 to 70070 or if you’d like to donate more, just change the amount after the pound sign. For example, to donate £5, text RABI18£5 to 70070.

Every donation, no matter how small, allows us to continue our work. So far this year we have helped 1,229 farming families in financial need with grants totalling almost £1.5m.
