Chaplains fighting loneliness in farmers in rural Yorkshire
From The Yorkshire Post:
The issue is of particular prominence in agricultural communities, where the rural way of life can be a largely solitary one. But at markets and auction marts across Yorkshire, agricultural chaplains are taking positive steps towards confronting the often isolated existence of the UK farmer.
As well as working to make help that is available more widely known amongst the farming community, the chaplains are building relationships with farmers and their families, providing them with someone to talk to in a place where they regularly attend. And their support could not come soon enough.
