The Royal Countryside Fund has opened applications for its Farm Resilience Programme, with up to 20 spaces available for farm families in the Crossgar area of Co Down.
The programme offers £2,000 worth of free business and environmental advice for each participating farm to help them build long-term resilience.
In NI, delivery is through a series of in-person workshops, due to begin this winter, which are being led by Rural Support.
Farmers interested in taking part should contact Christina at info@ruralsupport.org.uk or telephone 028 8676 0040.
The President of the Young Farmers Clubs of Ulster (YFCU), Kristina Fleming, has launched her 2026 Christmas appeal.
The appeal encourages members to provide assistance to food banks and community food projects in their local area.
Members, families and local communities are asked to give whatever they can, with all donations to be delivered to food banks on Saturday 12 December.
“As a youth organisation, we want to build stronger communities where everyone feels supported and valued,” said Kristina.
