Fundraise With Us
By raising money for Vegans Support the Farmers, you are helping to not only spread awareness of the mental health crisis in farming but demonstrate to farmers that the vegans care. The relationships this will build is sure to make incredible progress in towards a plant-based food system that is fair for all life. What better way to demonstrate the vegan values of kindness and empathy to the farming community!
The £100,000 raised this year will go towards activities which help young farmers improve their mental health and bring our two communities together in ways where we can come to point of mutual understanding and collaboration. Whether that is first aid trainings, outings and activities, or education, the money will be spent in collaboration with the wishes of our partnered Young Farmers’ Clubs and for causes that meet both communities’ ethical beliefs - so that means money never directly goes to maintaining animal farming.
We hope the following information will be a great starting point in your fundraising journey. Whatever challenge you choose, we will do everything we can to help you. Just let us know if you need anything.
Thank you for caring about the mental health of young farmers and being the compassionate vegan you are!
