I combine my passions for both agriculture & helping people as a charity Volunteer & Events Coordinator of the most incredible Welsh mental health charity The DPJ Foundation. The DPJ Foundation provides a much needed service to people working in Agriculture and their families, allowing them to "Share the Load". Share the Load is a 24/7 helpline where those who want to reach out can speak to people who will listen, understand and who can help. We can provide access to Counselling, signpost to other services or just be there when we're needed. At the DPJ Foundation we also raise awareness of Mental Health amongst the rural community. We deliver training that will provide tools to help people look after their own mental health and to support those around them. We also aim to normalise talking about mental health. One of our key missions at the DPJ Foundation is to prevent suicide and my role involves training people in suicide awareness and prevention as well as training people to support those who have been impacted by suicide. Having grown up on a beef and sheep farm, I remain involved in farming on a practical level and am often found attending Agricultural shows and sales all over the UK with my pedigree Beltex, North Country Cheviot & Black Welsh Mountain Sheep. Alongside this I am a noted judge of both sheep and cattle regularly being asked to judge at prestigious shows and sales. I am a council member for both the North Country Cheviot Sheep Society and the Black Welsh Mo
