Good luck to Hawkstone Farmers Choir for this weekend!

We’re incredibly proud to support the amazing 𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐫 as they take to the stage on Britain’s Got Talent this Saturday night!

Featuring familiar faces from our farming community — 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐎𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐬 and 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬— the choir is shining a spotlight on something that matters deeply to rural Britain: mental health awareness in agriculture.

Farming can be rewarding, but it can also be isolating. With rural communities facing increasing pressures, initiatives like this help raise awareness, encourage conversations, and remind people they are never alone.

Tune in to 𝐈𝐓𝐕𝟏 at 𝟕𝐏𝐌 and show your support for this inspiring group of farmers and rural voices. Every vote could help them reach the final!

Let’s get behind them and celebrate the strength, spirit, and resilience of our rural community.
