Youth

Young carers are being urged to get the financial support they are entitled to.  Social Security Scotland is encouraging eligible people to apply for the £359.65 Young Carer Grant.

The Richard Huxtable Award has this year been awarded jointly to a number of young people who have gone the extra mile to support RSABI over the past year. 

Anyone who has been involved with agriculture for up to five years could now get £500 towards the cost of training from the Scottish Government’s Next Generation fund.

Managed by Lantra Scotland, the fund is open to both men and women, including students and those already in full-time or part-time work, regardless of age.

Following a 12-month pilot project with three young farmers clubs, RSABI is now set to roll out an award-winning, digital mental health care service to a wider audience in Scottish agriculture.
