The response has been tremendous. The fund has had a significant impact on the amount of money given by RABI to farmers. Since the crisis began, RABI has given 428,342 to 353 families in North, East, West and South Yorkshire - a substantial part of this has come from the Fund. Every time we have news like this, it gives everyone such a lift to know people still care. The crisis has been going on for so long we're finding that farmers are having to come back to us again for help.
Some situations are literally desperate, so every donation really counts.
It's important for the farming community to know that help and support will continue.
