Our Random Acts of Kindness Campaign – The DPJ Foundation
Our latest Random Act of Kindness… goodies for The DPJ Foundation!💛
A wonderful charity close to CG HQ, The DPJ Foundation supports mental health in rural and agricultural communities across Wales. Founded in Pembrokeshire in 2016 in memory of Daniel Picton-Jones, it offers free, confidential support via the 24/7 Share the Load helpline, fast access to counselling, awareness and bereavement training, outreach at shows and events, and community volunteering — all to reduce stigma and encourage open conversations about mental health.
Our gut-health and natural skincare goodies in situ!
Here’s what The DPJ Foundation say:
“Agriculture carries one of the highest rates of suicide. Poor mental health in agriculture is recognised as a big problem across society and the DPJ Foundation aims to break down the stigma that surrounds poor mental health and provide support services for those in rural communities when they need it, where they need it. We want to help people get help and to prevent suicide.
Farming is an excellent career and can provide huge benefits to those who work in the sector. However it is a career that comes with huge pressure, isolation and demand on a daily basis and it is often difficult to reach out for help.
At the DPJ Foundation, we can provide pro-active support to farmers and people living in isolated rural areas.
Call our 24 hour confidential helpline to talk to one of our volunteers who can be there to listen or can set you up with a counsellor. Or if talking on the phone just isn’t your thing then drop us a text message and we can chat with you via text or call you back.
Our 24/7 confidential counselling referral service specifically for those who work in agriculture, ‘Share The Load’, guarantees that those who call, will be contacted within 48 hours by a counsellor and seen within a week. We offer outreach counselling (on the farm) online, telephone or face to face in a location off-farm.
In the 5 years since the service has been established, we have enabled over 800 people across the whole of Wales to access counselling free of charge.”
