World Health Day!

North Yorkshire Moors Moorland Organisations

The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year.

Mental health issues are especially noticeable in the farming and Gamekeeping community where many lonesome days are spent out on the hills. Mental health is everyone’s business. We all have times when we feel down, stressed or frightened, most of the time these feelings pass BUT sometimes they develop into a more serious problem and that could happen to any one of us.

For all gamekeepers and their family members please remember Jamie’s Helpline Tel: 0300 1233088. This phone number will be answered by specially trained people who you can talk to in times of need.

Please make the call and help make things change for the better. It’s so important to talk and equally important to know that there is always someone out there who will listen. Mental health issues can affect anyone, and mental health well being is vitally important.

The Gamekeepers Welfare Trust exists to support gamekeepers, stalkers and ghillies, and their dependants past and present, please use them.
