Its main area of work is to provide homes for farming families living in England and Wales who have to leave the industry, through no fault of their own, and by doing so will lose their home. In times of emergency and where hardship prevails, the Addington Fund also considers assistance with a grant towards certain business costs. Call 01926 620135 for more information.
