You Don't Have to Face Things Alone
Whether you're dealing with personal challenges, financial pressures, family issues, or simply need someone to talk to, our Agricultural Chaplains are here to support you.
Why Rural Chaplaincy
Rural stress, isolation and high rates of suicide are familiar issues associated with farming. The industry pressures continue with large, one-off disasters (avian flu, flooding and climate change being just a few) along with the volatility of global markets. The pastoral care provided by the chaplains is an essential ‘listening ear, walking with the agricultural community through difficult times’.
The role of Agricultural Chaplain has been undertaken for over 25 years by Rev. Canon Alan Robson. During this time his chaplaincy has become an integral part of the fabric of the Lincolnshire rural community. The role has broadened beyond pastoral and spiritual care of the agricultural rural community to promotion and participation in projects to benefit their resilience and wellbeing; provoking ethical debate about countryside and agricultural issues and connecting many organisations around the County.
