22 May Upper Wharfdale Walk for Farm Crisis Network

There'll be a sponsored walk in Upper Wharfedale on Saturday 22 May to raise money for Farm Crisis Network and to increase awareness of the importance of our upland farming communities.
FCN provides pastoral and practical support to farming people during periods of anxiety and stress. Our hill farmers are fundamental in the management of the land and production of food and without them the landscape will change out of all recognition in a short period of time. Once it has gone, it will be nearly impossible to get back.
To register for the walk and obtain further information please visit http://www.tfa.org.uk/events/featured.aspx
or contact the TFA Membership Department, telephone 0118 930 6130 or email: membership@tfa.org.uk .
If you are unable to walk but would like to support the cause with a donation, then please send your cheque to the TFA, made payable to FCN or go online and donate via the Just Giving website http://www.justgiving.com/fcn/donate
