Rural charities to benefit from H&H's support

Invited to nominate their choice of a national charity, and regional based charity, staff collectively chose to support nationally the RABI (Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution) and the RSABI (Royal Scottish Agricultural Benevolent Institution), both which provide mental health support and guidance, practical care, and financial support to those facing adversity within the farming community.

For regional support Growing Well, was selected. This ground-breaking community enterprise helps hundreds of people across the North West to overcome mental health problems through therapeutic horticultural activities at their three organic kitchen gardens at Kendal, Tebay, and Egremont.

H&H Group CEO Richard Rankin says the choice of charities reflects the Group’s continued commitment to the agricultural community as a whole and the North West region in particular.

He said: “All our companies and our people are rooted in rural business and rural life, and the charities they have chosen to support this year are close to our hearts. And as we continue to champion mental health, raising awareness in the rural sector, it’s no coincidence these charities have a strong bias to mental health support.”

RSABI’s head of fundraising, Pauline Macmillan, said, “We are really thrilled to be working with the team at H&H Group on their fundraising this year and delighted to have been chosen as one of the recipients for all their efforts over the next year.  

“We know the challenges facing farmers and crofters are becoming more complex and it is our hope to be able to support everyone who needs us. We simply can’t do the work we do without the generosity from Organisations and Individuals within the sector supporting us. 

“We look forward to a fun year ahead working with H&H Group and raising lots of money for three great causes.”
