Farm Safety Foundation

WHO ARE WE?
Rising concern over the continuing high level of fatal and life-changing incidents on UK farms prompted rural insurer NFU Mutual to set up a charitable foundation in 2014 to help farmers work safely (Registered Charity No. 1159000).

The Farm Safety Foundation - or YELLOW WELLIES as many know them - works closely with partners in the industry to engage, educate and communicate strong and relatable farm safety messages. Over the past eight years, the Foundation has developed and delivered farm safety training for 16,000 young farmers in 44 land-based colleges and universities throughout the UK and through the Young Farmers’ Club network.

Through national campaigns such as Farm Safety Week (18-22 July 2022) and Mind Your Head (13-17 February 2023) the Farm Safety Foundation is working to preserve and protect both the physical and the mental wellbeing of the next generation of farmers and equip them with smart strategies and the specific skills to live well and farm well.
