RSABI CEO Nina Clancy

I wish everybody knew the services RSABI can provide and know how effective we can be. It worries me that there may be people out there, farmers and crofters that are struggling and unaware of how RSABI can help. With a bit of practical, emotional or financial help from the team, people can move on with their lives.

I wish people would ask for help when they need it. I get quite mad when I hear that people won’t pick up the phone and ask for help! Why on earth wouldn’t you? RSABI is here for anyone in the agricultural industry, RSABI is your service – use us!

I wish no farmer or crofter (in fact anyone) felt low enough to take their own life. It is sad that we have the highest suicide rate of any sector. Well done to SAYFC for starting the conversation with the 'Are Ewe OK?' campaign. Please keep an eye out for each other.

I wish for a profitable, sustainable agricultural sector that collaborates and feels confident in the produce it grows and rears – it is some of the best in the world.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and here’s to a great 2020!
