The Prince's Countryside Fund's Farm Resilience Programme
Thursday 16th September 2021
Family farm businesses from the Caithness and Sutherland area are invited to sign up for The Prince's Countryside Fund's Farm Resilience Programme starting in October 2021. Co-ordinated by Cameron Consulting the multi-million-pound programme allows up to 20 farming families to take part and there are only very limited spaces still available.
Participants receive free business audit worth £2,300 and are invited to attend 6 workshops delivered by expert consultants including Kite, the Andersons Centre, and Savills with topics covering financial and technical performance, future environmental support and succession planning.
Derek, a farmer who took part in 2019-20, told us: "The Prince's Farm Resilience Programme allows farmers to be open and honest with others. It's a great way for people to come together, to put your head above the parapet and own how well your business is doing, to talk things through with others in a similar situation and with the expertise of the consultants."
Keith Halstead, Executive Director of The Prince's Countryside Fund said: "British agriculture is undergoing its most significant change in a generation, so it is vital that farming families future-proof their business, now. The free business skills and environmental management training provided by The Prince's Farm Resilience Programme is proven to increase confidence and help farm businesses ready themselves for change. I'd like to thank all of our programme sponsors for their support of The Prince's Farm Resilience Programme, particularly Aldi, Morrisons, and the National Trust."
