Avondhu Macra na Feirme are hosting a virtual speed dating fundraiser in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation. It’s open to anyone aged between 18 and 35 looking to find love.
Kicking off via Zoom at 8pm, it’s a night guaranteed to be full of banter! Donations can be made through our GoFundMe link, which can be found on Avondhu Macra social media pages.
A programme that many past and present Macra members may have heard of or benefitted from is ‘Farmers Have Hearts’, where Irish Heart Foundation nurses come to marts and provide free health checks for farmers who may not be able to take time out of their busy schedule to go to the doctor.
Unfortunately, the Irish Heart Foundation have had to postpone their ‘Farmers Have Hearts’ programme due to COVID-19.
On the 16 October, the Irish Heart Foundation released a new initiative in order to save lives.
We know that hearts will be beating hard and fast on Friday 13 October during our dates, but on the occasion that someone’s heart stops beating and they have a cardiac arrest, you may save their life by pushing hard and fast in the centre of their chest.
The Irish Heart Foundation want us all to know how straightforward it is to carry out CPR.
Their two rules are – call 112 or 999 and push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.
The more people who know how to perform CPR, the more likely it is someone will survive if they have a cardiac arrest.
A webinar hosted by Macra Agricultural Skillnet for parents, landowners, young farmers and other family members will be held on Thursday 19 November from 8-9:30pm. Guest speakers will include:
Sian Bushell – Farm succession facilitator.Austin Finn – The land mobility service.This webinar is free of charge, but you must register beforehand by visiting macra.ie/macra-skillnet. Ask the questions you want the answer to from the comfort of your own home.
Have your family hear how planning for handing over to the next generation can be a smooth process. When a family business faces major change, especially handing the reins on to the next generation, it can be challenging.
For instance, when a new family member joins the business through marriage, or adult children return from study to take on responsibility on the farm, planning for those changes will make the transition much smoother for everyone.
Communication and planning are central to the process, to support the happiness of the family and the growth of the business. Getting everyone round the table is an essential first step to address change. Trained as a family farm succession facilitator and both a farmer and daughter of a farmer, Siân Bushell understands the farming way of life.
Austin Finn is manager of the land mobility service. We will hear about different succession options and collaborative structure to aid the change.
