Last year the Health Hub worked with people across the private, public and voluntary sector to develop a leaflet containing the latest information about the support available for farmers and their families during the pandemic, as well as practical advice on how people can protect their physical and mental health - with the information gained also available on the new website. Jon James, Chief Executive of the Farming Health Hub, said: The aim of Farming Health Hub is to provide a single source of business, physical and mental health support for farmers and their families. We know that many people in farming and those living and working in rural communities have struggled to cope with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the past 12 months.
Cornwall’s Farming Health Hub has launched a new website to support people in farming and those living and working in rural communities. Cornwall s Farming Health Hub will be offering a digital tool kit which will provide farming communities with mental, physical and business health advice across its online platform. Funded by Smartline and Agritech, and developed by web designer, Geoff Muskett, the new Farming Health Hub website hosts a range of new resources including the ‘Tractor Wheel of life’, a free two minute self assessment tool which encourages individuals to consider the quality of their lives and the health of their business.
