Rural Support celebrating successful first year of Glenarm Plough On Group
and live on Freeview channel 276
The project aims to tackle rural isolation and increase social opportunities for older male farmers by offering participants the chance to join a local group which meets to connect on areas of shared interest such as farming, rural heritage, and history.
‘Our Glenarm Group’, led by Maureen Currie and Roy Kennedy, has been meeting on a monthly basis since October, 2021. Enjoying a range of guest speakers, the group has also had the opportunity to take tours and take trips.
