Rural Support is the farm support charity for Northern Ireland, established in 2002. For over two decades, Rural Support has been the trusted lifeline for Northern Ireland’s farming community. We are the only charity dedicated solely to supporting farmers and farm families through their most challenging times, whether that is financial hardship, mental health struggles, bereavement or generational transition.

We provide a range of programmes and services for farmers and farm family members, supporting both farm business needs and personal wellbeing. All services are accessible through our free, confidential Support Line on 0800 138 1678, which is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm.
