[QUOTE="The Business Barn, post: 5638316, member: 90148"] One woman’s Facebook group has had a huge impact on helping tackle loneliness and isolation in the countryside and made her a heroine to thousands of women across the UK. Chloe Williams, founder of the Facebook group ‘The Crazy Life of a Farmer’s Wife’ knows all too well what it can be like to feel alone. “I had a lot of connections with the countryside but didn’t come from a farming family so when she married a farmer, Ben Williams, it was quite a hard transition,” explains Chloe. “Although I worked as a nurse to begin with, Ben did long hours on the farm and I was living in a new setting where I knew very few people. “After having my son I was suddenly hit again by how lonely and isolated I felt. Although I went to baby groups, I found it difficult to meet and make friends with people who understood farming and what being married to a farmer meant.” [URL='https://www.thebusinessbarn.co.uk/news/facebook-group-combatting-rural-loneliness-and-isolation']Click here to read the full article on The Business Barn >>>[/URL] [B]You may also like:[/B] [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.thebusinessbarn.co.uk/advice-library/inspire/rural-business-ideas']Rural business ideas[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.thebusinessbarn.co.uk/advice-library/inspire/inspire-case-studies']Rural business case studies[/URL] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
