The Farming Community Network were thrilled to receive a cheque for £10,000 this month. Dorset Training was set up as a farmer-owned membership in 1998 to provide training to the agricultural community. The money donated to FCN is the remaining membership funds following its merger with Newlands Training, and recognises the ongoing strong links with the farming community.
Newlands Training, run by Anna Chambers, provides rural and agricultural training throughout the south of England, including on pesticides, plant and machinery, Health and Safety, forestry and horticulture. BASIS Soil and Water and FACTS agronomy courses are also run each autumn/winter.
Working closely with the relevant accrediting body each course is led by a fully trained instructor, and the students receive recognised industry certificates. All courses can be held on site or at one of their training centres across Dorset. All enquiries 01305 848454 or to [email protected]
If you need us for any reason, you can email me (Bec) on [email protected] or you can reach Barrie on [email protected]
The confidential, national helpline is open every day of the year, from 7am to 11pm. Volunteers provide free, confidential support to anyone who seeks help: call 03000 111 999
