NFU supporting Gwent Young Farmers clubs

NFU Cymru is continuing with its commitment to Gwent YFC with a donation for £200 which will go towards its Training Events fund.

Established in the 1930s Gwent YFC now has seven active clubs across the county. Each club offers rural young people, many linked to the farming industry, the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and contribute to the rural community.

On presenting the cheque, Monmouthshire NFU Cymru Council Delegate William Jenkins, who is also President of Gwent YFC said, "We’ve had a longstanding relationship with Gwent YFC and it is heartening to be able to continue working with them to help support the work they do in the local community - as more often than not we are working towards the same goal."

Accepting the cheque on behalf of Gwent YFC, Tim Jenkins, thanked NFU Cymru for its generous donation. He said, "On behalf of our members, I would like to thank NFU Cymru for its generous donation and support. Many families of our young farmers have longstanding links with NFU Cymru and we are delighted to keep working with a farming union which has the knowledge and understanding of the local area our members are from."
