\"\"<\/p>\n

The Farming Life Centre provides health\/well-being and business related information and support to the farming and rural community of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Peak District.<\/p>\n

We run continuous\u00a0projects to address the (often hidden) health, social and economic inequalities and deprivation within the upland farming community, which are delivered at outreach locations and\u00a0from our base in the Agricultural Centre in Bakewell.<\/p>\n

The underlying ethos of all our initiatives is to improve the resilience of the rural community by supporting our residents of all ages to deal with their challenges in a timely way \u2013 before they reach a point of crisis.<\/p>\n

The Farming Life Centre celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025.<\/p>\n

Over the years the charity has successfully developed and run projects in the fields of mental and physical health, heritage, the arts, business support and development, skills development and confidence building.<\/p>\n
