Giving it welly for farm accident support group

IRELAND’S only support network for farm families is inviting everyone to join in the inaugural Embrace FARM Wear Our Wellies (WOW) Day on January 31 to raise vital funds for the organisation.

Embrace FARM is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2014 by husband and wife, Brian and Norma Rohan, following the tragic loss of Brian’s father Liam in a farming accident. The group has engaged more than 400 farm families with comfort and practical support in the aftermath of a traumatic incident.

Mrs Rohan said: 

“By including farming and non-farming communities, we are highlighting the emotional and practical devastation a serious injury or sudden death has on a farming family and the wider impact on the local community and society.”

Schools, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to wear their wellies wherever they are on that date and help raise vital funds to support Irish farm families impacted by serious injury and sudden death.
