Rural communities raise over £17,000 for Wales Air Ambulance

Over £17,500 has been raised following a series of farmhouse breakfast events held in Wales to promote the importance of good mental health and local food production.

Over 35 farmhouse breakfasts were served up across Wales between 15-21 January to raise vital funds for the Wales Air Ambulance.

The breakfast week is held in order to promote the health benefits of having breakfast, as well as promoting the food produced by local farmers.

The annual initiative, spearheaded by the Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW), also puts a spotlight on mental health within the farming industry.
