The funding will support the charity’s plans to create a community mental health and wellbeing hub in North Dorset, and help part-fund a new mental health event focused on the farming community.
Adam Harvey, chair of trustees and co-founder of The Brave and Determined, said: ‘Donations like this mean the absolute world to our young charity. They help open doors that may otherwise have remained closed.’
Now in its sixth year, NFU Mutual’s Agency Giving Fund forms part of the company’s £4 million pledge to support local and national frontline charities in 2025. Justin Pinder, NFU Mutual Agent, said: ‘The whole team at the NFU Mutual North Dorset Agency felt that BAD CO was a very deserving cause, and we’re proud to have nominated a local charity that provides essential services to people in our community.’
