Supporters Spotlight: Craven Transport Ltd 🚛

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Tom and the entire team at Craven Transport for leading the way with our Wheels for Wellbeing campaign so far.

From the very beginning, Craven Transport believed in our vision, becoming the first company to display a Wheels for Wellbeing banner on one of their lorries. Their support helped launch the campaign and inspire others to get involved.

Since then, the campaign has grown significantly, with a fantastic network of hauliers, farm contractors and allied agricultural businesses helping to spread the message across Lincolnshire and beyond.
Together, this growing community is doing more than raising awareness, it's demonstrating the strength, compassion and solidarity that exists within our farming and rural communities. Every banner on the road helps spark conversations about rural wellbeing and reminds people that support is available.

To Tom and everyone at Craven Transport, thank you for leading by example and helping us drive hope across our farming community. Your support is making a real difference 💚🚛

LRSN are delighted to be working in partnership with local artist Jane Haigh on a fundraising and awareness project. Jane’s farming roots lead her to want to make a connection with and support the work LRSN does with Lincolnshire’s agricultural and horticultural communities.

Jane’s beautiful artwork of a stunning Lincoln Red Bull named Cassie, resplendent in his champions sashes and rosettes has been made into tea towels, bookmarks, cards and much more with a percentage of all sales being donated to LRSN.

Happy ! 🚜

Today we're celebrating the incredible farmers, growers and agricultural workers who work tirelessly to keep our nation fed and our rural communities thriving.

From early mornings to late nights, through every season and every challenge, farming is more than a job - it's a way of life. It takes resilience, dedication and an unwavering commitment to caring for the land, livestock and future generations.

At LRSN, we're proud to support the people behind British farming. We know that alongside the successes can come pressures and challenges, which is why we're here to ensure no-one in our farming community has to face difficult times alone.

To everyone working on the land today, thank you for everything you do!
