  1. What We Do
  2. Supporting the Farming & Rural Community

Support for the rural community

As of the 1st of April 2022, the Derbyshire Rural Chaplaincy has moved across to its new home with Derbyshire Chaplaincy. Alan and his team will continue to develop the work that has been built up during its time with RAD and we wish them all the best. 

Confidential helpline: 07710 088 972 Email: [email protected].

For more information on their work going forward please visit their website. https://www.derbyshireruralchaplaincy.org.uk

If you hear of anyone in the agricultural community that might be struggling financially, the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, a farming support charity remains available for financial assistance to farmers and farm workers.
