We know lots of farming and crofting folk are struggling with power cuts and storm damage - meaning extra work and worry on top of your usual workload - and we hope you are doing ok as the stormy weather continues today.
💨Please take care, take an extra few seconds to assess risk and keep safe.💨
Our thanks go to everyone who is finding time to check in on friends, family and neighbours and particularly those living alone who might be struggling or feeling particularly isolated this week.
Please make a phone call today to check in on someone - your kindness could make a big difference…. perhaps more than you could imagine. ❤️

Thank you to RHET Ayrshire and Arran Countryside Initiative for inviting us along to their stock judging event on Friday night held at Ayr Mart by kind permission of Craig Wilson Limited. Our Health Hut nurse, Catherine, offered blood pressure checks and health advice and RSABI Fundraising Executive Laura, shared information about the support available for people in Scottish agriculture. It was great to see so many people stopping by for a chat and taking the opportunity to check in on their health. Among those to get their blood pressure checked was Farmstrong's Clare Dickson, event organiser and chair of RHET Ayrshire & Arran, Scott Dewart as well as RHET Project Coordinator, Jane Cameron.

The event was extremely well supported and raised an incredible £3,600 for RHET Ayrshire & Arran. Thank you to the organisers, volunteers and everyone who attended for helping make it such a successful evening. 👏

❤️ Menopause Awareness Month ❤️

A reminder from our Health Hut nurse Irene Scott that menopause isn’t just about hot flushes and night sweats - it's also about looking after your heart.

For women working in Scottish agriculture, life can be busy. Whether you're working on the farm, managing the paperwork, caring for family or juggling several roles, it's often your own health that slips down the priority list.

During menopause, falling oestrogen levels can contribute to changes in cholesterol, blood pressure and how our bodies store fat. Alongside ageing, these changes can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

❤️ But there are simple steps we can take to protect our hearts.

🩺 Know your numbers – have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked.

🚶‍♀️ Keep active – farming can be physically demanding, but regular activity that raises your heart rate is important too.

🥗 Eat well – make time for balanced meals, even during busy farming seasons.

😴 Prioritise sleep and wellbeing – easier said than done when farming never stops!

💬 Talk about menopause – it shouldn't be something women feel they have to manage silently.

At the RSABI Health Hut, we encourage everyone working in agriculture to take a few minutes out of their busy day to think about their own health. A simple blood pressure check can be an important first step in identifying cardiovascular risk.

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but it is also an opportunity to think about our longer-term health.

❤️ We spend so much time looking after our farms, families and others. Menopause Awareness Month is a reminder that looking after ourselves matters too.
