Mind Your Head – now in its 9th year – is an annual awareness-raising campaign managed and funded by the Farm Safety Foundation.
After eight years of running the campaign, we are starting to see real progress and positive steps around talking about mental health in farming, however the conversation around suicide prevention still lags.
We all know that farming is more than a profession – it is a way of life. But it can be isolating, relentless and uncertain. Long hours, physical graft and a culture of “just get on with it” keep our industry moving but they can also keep too many of us silent for too long.
We lose too many people to suicide every year but we can change that if we learn the signs, start honest conversations and signpost timely help, so a struggle does not become a crisis.
To find out what’s happening and how you can get involved please sign up by emailing stephanie_berkeley@nfumutual.co.uk
We will release our official toolkit on Friday 30 January 2026 by email to everyone who has registered.
Mind Your Head is organised by the Farm Safety Foundation (Yellow Wellies) and sponsored by all our wonderful fundraisers. Thank you to everyone who has raised money for us, we couldn’t do it without you!
