Good Morning Folks

RSABI have just launched a snow fund to help those who have been most affected by the recent snow.

For more information, click on the link below 👍

❄️£100,000 Snow Impact Fund Update❄️ Our Welfare Team have been working hard supporting farmers and crofters worst hit by the extreme wintry conditions and - within days of announcing the fund - funds are starting to reach applicants struggling with the damage.
The types of scenarios we are hearing about include extensive damage to buildings (some are struggling to find alternative housing for livestock), livestock losses, polytunnel damage/destruction and losses of feed and bedding supplies.
While it is clear this is a very stressful time for those impacted, the team have also been struck by - despite the strain - how grateful farmers and crofters are for the support we have made available. 💙
