The Right Reverend John Stroyan, Bishop of Warick celebrates reasons for having a plough in Church at the Plough Service organised by FCN Warwickshire.

Although there isn’t currently a farming industry crisis in Warwickshire, we receive a steady flow of enquiries for support on:
• personal stress
• health
• family and succession issues
• struggling businesses
• RPA payments
• compliance
• cash flow
• animal welfare and disease
and those many other events that put real lives under enormous pressure.

Our volunteers cannot solve all of these problems but do willingly come alongside those who are struggling, to provide friendly, confidential support.

The group brings a wide range of skills, experience and geographical spread to the work from both inside and outside of the farming industry. Case work is allocated to appropriately skilled volunteers where complete client confidentiality and empathy can be assured.

The Warwickshire FCN Group was launched in 2009 and has an active group of 10 volunteers who have been training together regularly.
