The purpose of the Yarkhill Field to Fork Festival is not just to celebrate the amazing produce that is grown locally, but also to raise money for local charities and local community projects.  We want to share with you our fundraising successes and why we value the attendance so much of the producers, sponsors and visitors to our Festival.

2017 - Strong Young Minds is a 5 yr project which commenced in September 2015 designed to improve the mental health & wellbeing of young people in Herefordshire aged 10 – 24. We focus on early intervention & prevention working with young people once they identify a potential issue which may have an adverse effect on their mental health. Typical issues that we are addressing are anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, bullying, cyberbullying, relationship breakdown, employability, low self-esteem, body image & bereavement – all of which can have a significant effect on the wellbeing of a young person if not addressed as early as possible & if left unsupported can continue through into adulthood.
