Charity and the Welfare State Harvest Festival Thanks . R A B I newsWINTER 2014 THE MAGAZINE OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION Charity and the welfare state Page 4 Harvest festival thanks Page 11 SUPPORTING FARMING FAMILIES WWW.RABI.ORG.UK From the chairman After an incredibly mild autumn for most of us, winter did eventually arrive and thoughts turned to all those events that our wonderful county groups In this edition do so well, raising funds, awareness and hopefully spirits! The social, community aspect of such gatherings make them such fun for all involved but also highlights the fact that many of those we aim to assist often suffer from isolation and a feeling of living outside the sort of lives that many of us take National news for granted. The idyllic rural life is not always as wonderful as it Pages 3 - 7 might appear, and our hard-working welfare team constantly see how the realities of often remote surroundings impact, especially when funds are in short supply. During a recent visit to Australia, I heard how similar issues for far-flung communities there were also causing great concern. Thankfully a better understanding - and openness - about mental Feature - The gift of life health and other resultant issues bodes well for the future, although sadly, the equivalent of R.A.B.I. Pages 8 - 9 does not exist ‘down under’ and we should think ourselves lucky that previous generations had the foresight to create this incredible organisation. Closer to home, Welly Week has again proved a great success and provided much scope for novel fundraising opportunities. The Christmas season will no doubt also stimulate much innovative Regional news event planning, although as the time of family festivities and fun approaches, please spare a Pages 12 - 19 thought for those whose circumstances allow for little celebration.

News is published quarterly by R.A.B.I. and edited by Philippa Spackman, telephone 01865 811581, email [email protected] Cover picture: Harvest Festival at Oxford’s Christ Church Cathedral 2 Nati nal news Christmas hampers show that people care Every year R.A.B.I. gives the people we support long-term a Christmas hamper and we know from the thank you letters we receive how much they are appreciated. The hampers cost around £44,000 a year to provide and we run a dedicated campaign to fund them. On behalf of the hundreds of people who receive them, thank you to everyone who has donated to this year’s appeal, many of whom do so year after year. One retired farmer who wishes to remain anonymous said: “I’m fortunate to have my family around me, but Christmas can be a lonely time, and if you have financial worries, it’s even worse. Buying a hamper is a simple way to show that other people care.” The hampers contain store cupboard essentials with a few treats. According to people’s wishes, they are either sent directly from the Leeds-based company which produces them, Festival Foods, or delivered in person by an R.A.B.I. volunteer. Many volunteer members of the delivery team have been delivering hampers for years. We think the record holders Mary Passmore has been organising the delivery of R.A.B.I.’s are Mary Passmore from West Sussex, followed closely Christmas hampers in West Sussex for more than 40 years. by Anthony Jepps from Wiltshire, who have both been She is pictured above with regional manager Sally Field who delivering hampers for more than 40 years.

Now treasurer, his 47 years’ service makes him R.A.B.I.’s longest serving committee member. Mr Jepps started delivering hampers in 1974 when he moved to the NFU’s Swindon agency. “It’s only one day a year, but if There is still time to donate to the 2014 Christmas hamper ever I couldn’t do it I’d really miss it. I enjoy seeing people and campaign! Please call the fundraising team on 01865 724931 having a chat. Over the years you build up a relationship.” or download a form from the website www.rabi.org.uk Tom Byles It is with great sadness that we report the death of Tom Byles, former trustee and former chairman of the Cornwall committee, who had also delivered Christmas hampers to beneficiaries for more than 20 years. Tom was for many people the face of R.A.B.I. in Cornwall. Ill health eventually forced him to step down from the committee, but he never stopped fundraising for the charity. Chief executive Paul Burrows said: “Tom was a kind, remarkable and much-loved man, a farmer through and Tom is pictured with his wife Yvonne being presented with a Dick Twinney (centre) print to mark his retirement by chief through, who will be deeply missed by everyone who knew executive Paul Burrows (left) and chairman Chris Riddle (right) him.

Introduction My father, a pipe smoker, was an unliterary man. And yet he loved books. He had an extraordinarily fine collection of antiquarian editions on Brazil. But I never saw him reading any of them and the only writing of his own that survives are his meticulous account books and a dry-as-dust book on how to set up a company in Brazil. We never tried to persuade him to write a memoir of his life – I think we knew that he wouldn’t have done so, for his Irishness was of a rather puritan kind and, despite an interesting life, he was not a man to talk about it or to see it in a wider perspective.
