COUNTRYWAYS COUNTRYMEN OUTREACH

Countryways Countrymen Outreach for those feeling isolated

Countryways CIC has launched an Outreach Programme from Road Farm in Great Missenden to support Countrymen during the current COVID-19 outbreak, helping keep people connected to the countryside and farm-life during lockdown. Countryways is opening up this Outreach to more retired men in the community who have an affinity with outdoor environments or have long-term health or mobility issues.

The Outreach Programme aims to keep people up-to-date with countryside news, as well as keeping them motivated and stimulated. This could be a regular telephone call, farm-related activities to complete at home, a monthly newsletter, regular updates on social media or links to videos and photographs about what is going on at the farm. The charity Countrymen UK is leading this initiative. More details can be found on www.roadfarmcountryways.com/outreach/. Ordinarily, the farm welcomes those who benefit from some countryside therapy. Age, health issues or simply being isolated are never a barrier.

Do you know someone who would appreciate this support or are you part of an organisation that could help spread the word? If so, please contact us at Countryways CIC. Tel 01494 862413.
