The Farming Life Centre

We are a vibrant farming charity supporting people living and working in the Peak District. Our office base is in the Agricultural Business Centre in Bakewell where we are well placed to support farmers going about their business at the Livestock Markets each week.

Maintaining a healthy farm business along with remaining physically and mentally well is so important in enjoying a good quality of life. All of us go through times when we find ourselves struggling in one of these areas but without the right support at the right time, it can quickly impact them all. We are here to support farmers and rural residents in maintaining overall wellbeing by being there when you need us.

Our team are all from farming backgrounds and have a unique insight into the problems faced by farming and rural communities. We have a weekly presence at Bakewell Market and try to attend events throughout the year which serve as natural gathering opportunities for the farming community to share information about what we do.

Please visit our website to learn more about our programmes. We are always on the lookout for more volunteers to help out, particularly with our befriending service. Anyone can be a rural befriender, you just need to be reliable and caring, with a few hours to spare each month. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more.
