FREE FARM BUSINESS REVIEWS THROUGH CUMBRIA GROWTH CATALYST

The Farmer Network has funding from the Cumbria Growth Catalyst programme for farm business reviews of up to 3 hours.  We are using these to help farmers consider the impact of changes to support payments on their business, understand what grants are currently available and think about options for the future.  Call Veronica on 01524 782797 or e mail:  veronica@thefarmernetwork.co.uk .

BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE PROGRAMME

We are recruiting for the next cohort of young people for this programme of business training, one to one support from a mentor and the opportunity to apply for a small grant or loan.  If you are, or know of, a young person with farming-related business ambitions in Cumbria or the Yorkshire Dales, please call the Farmer Network 01768 868615 or email kate@thefarmernetwork.co.uk .
