NFU continues to support Carmarthen YFC



NFU Cymru has re-affirmed its commitment to Carmarthenshire’s Young Farmers Clubs by continuing to provide the County YFC with rent free office accommodation at the NFU Office, Agriculture House, Cambrian Place, Carmarthen.

NFU Cymru has supported Carmarthenshire YFC in various ways over the decades and during the recent Carmarthenshire NFU Cymru Conference it was announced that this support will continue.

Gareth Richards, Carmarthenshire NFU Cymru Chairman said, "The Union is proud to offer its support to the YFC movement in the county. We’ve had a longstanding relationship with Carmarthenshire YFC and it is heartening to be able to continue to work with them, as more often than not we are working towards the same goal."

Carmarthenshire YFC Chairman, Rhian Howells Jones said, "We’re very grateful to NFU Cymru for their continued support. Carmarthenshire YFC has 25 clubs across the county, and each club offers rural young people, many linked to the farming industry, the opportunity to meet new people, learn skills and help the community.

"NFU Cymru has supported Carmarthenshire YFC in various ways over the years and this last year has been a very successful year for us. We are in no doubt that this success is down to having a central location where we can serve our members from."
