Farmstrong seeking new trustees

Farmstrong has announced that it is expanding its board of trustees, with three new positions to fill.

The organisation has recently acquired charity status, and with the addition of three new trustees, the organisation is seeking to enable people in Scotland’s agricultural community to lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives, creating more productive and sustainable businesses. 

Farmstrong are looking for people with a good understanding of fundraising, partnerships, crofting, and wellbeing. 

Farmstrong is an action-based, social good programme aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of farmers, crofters and the wider Scottish agricultural community. They go to where farmers and crofters are to share practical information and tools based on the latest wellbeing science. In particular:

• At agricultural events through community engagement where farmers socialise, learn and socialise.
• In agricultural media and online via farmer stories about the practical steps they take.
• Through educational content delivered face-to-face and via multimedia platforms.
• By supporting initiatives to help farmers connect, get off farm and improve their wellbeing.

Chairman John Scott, said:

“This is an opportunity to bring your knowledge and expertise, to contribute to the direction of Farmstrong and help in the board’s decision-making. It gives a chance to gain experience at board level, to network and for personal and professional development.” 

Interviews are being held both in-person and online, ensuring those who are in more remote areas of Scotland can still apply.
