Embrace FARM Embrace FARM remembers and supports farm families affected by a serious injury or sudden death🕯️

Reach out to tell us your story. Laois called Shanahoe.

Registered Charity # 20149956 | CHY21837 Embrace FARM has been founded by Brian & Norma Rohan. Here in Brian's words are why Embrace FARM was set up. "FARMING remains the country's most dangerous job. Unfortunately my family was most forcefully made aware of this fact on Tuesday 19th of June 2012 when my Dad was tragically involved in an accident on our family farm and sadly passed away on the following Friday, the 22nd June 2012. My name is Brian Rohan and our family farm is based in a small village in Co. Following an accident on our family farm and the subsequent devastating loss of my Father, Liam Rohan from our lives, we quickly came to realise that there is little or no help as regard supports available to families that have lost loved ones by way of emotional, practical, business, legal & financial advice. Almost 200 people, adults and children have lost their lives in farming accidents over the past 10 years. In honour and remembrance to these people my wife Norma and I organise an annual Remembrance Service. It is an Ecumenical service held in the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Abbeyleix, Co. Laois on the last Sunday of June annually. We also remember those who have survived serious accidents at the service and aim to create more awareness of farm safety especially as the National Schools get their summer holidays around this time. The aim is to develop this event into to an annual remembrance and to develop various support structures to hopefully help families in any way possible come to terms with the irreplaceable loss of their loved ones. We hope to do this by growing Embrace FARM as a support to all those affected by Sudden Death and Serious Injury within the Farm Family."

We'd love to hear from you 🤝

Embrace FARM is looking for farmers and professionals to take part in an online focus group to shape future support for farm families affected by Bovine TB.

As a charity that supports farm families after sudden loss, we understand that a Bovine TB breakdown can affect a family not only practically, but emotionally too.

If you have experienced your own Bovine TB breakdown on your farm, or if you have worked in Bovine TB eradication, supported affected farms, or worked in a relevant role as a vet, Department official, administrator or similar professional, we want to hear about your experience.

If you are interested in taking part, please register through https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/yuiDVpr1Hj or DM us for more information.

Support for when farm families need help most 🤝

FRS Co-Op and Embrace FARM are working together to propose farm relief for farm families in Ireland affected by a serious injury or sudden death.

In our proposal submitted to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine this week, we aim to have a programme that allows Embrace FARM and FRS to work together in support of farm families after a traumatic serious injury or sudden loss. Hopefully making these families feel less alone in their grief and supported how and when they need it most.

To learn more about what this might mean for you and your family in the future, visit embracefarm.com/supportproposal to read the full proposal online.

*Please note that this scheme is a proposal currently and is subject to approval and funding.
