The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution is a welfare charity which helps to change lives for the better.

We support farming people of all ages if they are in financial difficulty and of limited means and treat every application for support on its own merits, working with compassion, discretion and friendship.

The way we can help includes giving one-off or regular grants, as well as provide essential household items and disability equipment. For working farmers we could fund relief staff to help in a crisis or offer training through our Gateway Project to help bring extra income on to the farm. For retired and/or disabled people we can pay towards care home and home-help costs and we also run two residential homes of our own.

Every case is different and even if we cant help, we probably know an organisation who can. So if you or someone you know could benefit from our support, the message is simple: please call our helpline on 0808 2819490.
