RSABI, the charity supporting people in Scottish agriculture, has appointed two new Trustees to its board.

Rebecca Dawes, who works for Jane Craigie Marketing and is a director and co-founder of the Rural Youth Project has joined the board along with Stephen Young, Head of Policy at Scottish Land & Estates. Both Ms Dawes and Mr Young also have a background in farming.

The University of Glasgow has launched a new study aimed at understanding how social relationships relate to health and wellbeing in Scotland - and they need help from Highland residents.

More than 500 additional mental health workers have been recruited over the past three years in a drive to expand the workforce and improve access to treatment.

The Charitable Trust has recently donated £80,000 to RSABI, the charity providing emotional, practical and financial support to people in the Scottish agricultural industry.
