Rural Change to merge with RST
The Rural Change programme, providing free private mental health professional sessions to the rural industry, is set to continue its next chapter within Rural Support Trust from 1 July 2024.
WHO SAYS there's no such thing as a free lunch - or dinner, asks the Northland Rural Support Trust.
It is holding free lunch or dinners for flood-hit Northland starting tomorrow (Wednesday, July 23).
"We can't stop it raining, but here's a chance to have a dinner you don't have to cook and an opportunity to talk to other storm affected folk plus pick the brains of some support people," the Support Trust says to farmers.
Free food and drink is supplied at each event thanks to the trust and local merchants.
The events are:
Wednesday, July 23:
Dargaville, Mamaranui Bowling Club, Mamaranui Rd, Kaihi, 6-8pm;
Mangakahia, Mangakahia Sports complex, corner Kerehunga and Mangakahia Rd, Poroti, 6-8pm
Thursday, July 24:

Friday, July 25:

Neighbours, farm staff, family and everyone that has been affected by the storm are invited to come along. The events are supported by Northland Rural Support Trust and Ballance Agri-Nutrients; Farmlands; FMG; PGG Wrighton; Ravensdown; RD1.
