Mental Health and Wellbeing

At LKL, we understand that farming comes with unique challenges – long hours, isolation, unpredictable weather, and financial pressures that can take their toll. That's why we've partnered with Gallantium, specialists in workplace wellbeing content, to bring you real stories from farmers who've faced tough times and found ways through.

Over the coming months, we'll be sharing films and case studies that shine a light on the resilience within our industry, from farmers who've learned to ask for help, to those who've developed practical strategies for managing stress and staying connected. These aren't clinical lectures; they're honest conversations with people who understand what it's like to work the land.

Whether you're struggling right now or simply want to support those around you, we hope these stories remind you that you're not alone, and that looking after your wellbeing is just as important as looking after your herd.
