Rural Support Trust is an organisation made up of 14 independent charitable Trusts throughout New Zealand.

The Rural Support Trust have local rural people in their teams, who know from experience that pressures can mount up. Their networks and training can help with all kinds of situations helping farmers and rural communities get through challenges.

Rural Support Trust is the only organisation that sits around the table face-to-face with our farmers, working through the issues, finding solutions and the necessary support. Most of the people involved with Rural Support Trust are unpaid volunteers, giving back to the Rural communities that they are part of. The biggest challenge to Rural Support Trusts is the increasing number of calls driven by Mental Health, Burnout & Depression, Farm Management Challenges, Animal Welfare, Financial Pressures, Relationship Issues and change. 

Rural Support Trusts have a connection to MPI and the Trusts are responsible to manage the recovery process of an Adverse Event in Rural Communities (Floods, Drought, Tornados, Covid & M bovis). They also run events for farmers and their families to enjoy some downtime off farm.

Your donation will go to the Regional Support Trust in your area and will fund initiatives that will benefit local farmers.
