Flanno For A Farmer Day Supporting Farmers This August

Wear your best flannelette and support Australian farmers this Flanno For A Farmer Day, Friday the 15th of August.

Farm Angels is holding Flanno For A Farmer Day to raise vital funds to support our nation’s farmers.

In support of those who produce our food and clothes, Flanno For A Farmer Day encourages everyone to don their best flannelette shirt on Friday the 15th of August.

Farm Angels are encouraging everyone to support farmers not only on Flanno For A Farmer Day, but for the whole month of August.

Aussie farmers are facing a mountain of mental, emotional and financial challenges. While they continue to feed the nation, battle droughts, bushfires, floods and isolation, many farmers feel undervalued and unappreciated.

The funds raised from Flanno For A Farmer Day go towards providing essential emotional support, financial assistance, food hampers, care packs and personalised support to thousands of farming families across Australia.

Founder of Farm Angels, Natasha Johnston says backing our farmers has never been more important.

“Too often, our farmers are struggling in silence. They’re out there doing one of the toughest jobs in the country, yet many feel forgotten. Flanno for a Farmer is about saying, ‘We see you. We appreciate you. And we’ve got your back.’ Every dollar raised helps us provide real, practical support for those who need it most,” said Natasha.

Staggering statistics show us that:

76% of farmers believe that the role they play is undervalued by the Australian public.
1 farmer dies by suicide every 10 days, 59% higher than the general population.

Many farmers impacted by natural disasters can take 3-5 years to recover from the financial, physical, and emotional devastation.

“All proceeds from Flanno for a Farmer are dedicated to ensuring Farm Angels continue to support farming families nationwide. By wearing your flanno and donating, you’re allowing us to continue to support the backbone of our country, and potentially save a life,” said Natasha.

Flanno for a Farmer Day is aiming to raise $500k this year.
