Farmers and their families can enjoy a day out on a scavenger hunt and bake sale this Saturday in aid of Pieta House and the Rape Crisis Centre.
CSO statistics show that on average 26 farmers die by suicide every year and the event aims to raise support for charities that help farmers and people in rural communities. Stress was a major concern during last year’s drought and a Teagasc survey showed that over two-thirds of farmers were stressed as a result.
The event is being held on Saturday 7 September from 12pm to 3pm at Tory Hill House, Croom, Co Limerick, V35 WF43.
