Surfing for Farmers Impact Report

The Surfing for Farmers programme recently released its latest impact report, highlighting the importance of time off-farm for farmers.

The programme surveyed its participants and found:

• 4 out of 5 participants said the programme reduces their stress
• The programme expanded farmers’ social circles and reduced the sense of isolation that can be common in rural communities
• While farming is often seen as male dominated, 44% of those registered for the programme are women, highlighting the programme’s inclusive nature

Surfing for Farmers is also merging with Rural Riders, an initiative which runs weekly bike rides for farmers in 16 locations around the country. 

We’re proud to support seven Surfing for Farmers locations in the regions in which we operate.
