Hi I’m Em Southwell and I'm part of the Westpac Agri Rollers team embarking on the Active Farmers Ride for Resillience

Where does the money I raise go?

100% of the money raised during the 'Ride for Resilience' will be donated to Active Farmers

WHAT IS ACTIVE FARMERS?

Active Farmers is a registered Not For Profit Organisation and Health Promotion Charity that brings together farmers, and other locals in small farming communities, through regular group fitness in a fun and interactive environment.

Designed especially for farmers with limited or no local access to fitness expertise and equipment, Active Farmers provides motivational, challenging and fun training sessions to help promote great physical health and mental wellbeing, and that suit all levels of fitness and experience. We currently run regular group fitness classes in over 30 small farming communities across Australia, however we believe that we can inspire many more people to join our existing classes, start Active Farmers and above all take their physical & mental health seriously.

We need to ensure, for the long-term sustainability of our Agricultural Industry that we have happy, health and resilient farmers and farming communities.

Funds donated to Active Farmers will be utilised to support the 34 existing Active Farmers community groups, as well as facilitate the introduction of more throughout Australia in the near future, along with increasing the number of health-related workshops held in each community.
