Young Farmers’ Clubs (YFCs) nationwide are being encouraged to sign-up to a fundraising
challenge – akin to the BBC’s The Apprentice – and put their entrepreneurial skills
to the test to raise vital funds for healthcare charity, Sue Ryder Care.

The Rural Apprentice Challenge, organised by the National Federation of Young Farmers’
Clubs (NFYFC), is challenging its members to raise hundreds of pounds for Sue Ryder
Care from an initial investment of £50 provided by Foresters, an international financial
services organisation. The NFYFC is hoping to encourage the 23,000 young people 
involved in YFCs up and down the country to collectively raise in excess of £50,000
through the initiative.

 

Kate Few, Regional Fundraising Manager at Sue Ryder Care, said: “Skills developed
whilst attending YFCs – such as teamwork, good communication and problem solving–
should equip participating club members to really thrive on this challenge and accomplish
great things.

“We’re absolutely delighted that the NFYFC is supporting us in this way. All money
raised will help us make a real difference to the lives of the thousands of people
we care for each year.”

All money raised from YFCs’ fundraising efforts will go directly to support Sue 
Ryder Care to continue to provide end of life and long-term care to people living
with conditions including; Cancer, Stroke, Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia,
Huntington’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Motor Neurone Disease.

 

The NFYFC Rural Apprentice Challenge is running from November 2009 to October 2010.
A special awards ceremony will take place at the end of the Challenge to recognise
and reward the YFCs that took part.

 

Steve Dilworth, Foresters UK Membership Director, said: “Foresters is delighted 
to support the NFYFC Rural Apprentice Challenge in aid of Sue Ryder Care. Foresters
is keen to support young people’s fundraising work in the community and we are looking
forward to seeing some wonderful results in the coming months.”
