RABI helps farmers, farm managers, agricultural workers and their dependants who have less than £10,000 in savings, according to the following criteria:

Retired applicants must normally be aged at least 65 and have worked full-time on the land for a minimum of ten years. These qualifications can be waived where an applicant has had to cease working due to illness or disability, or has served in the Women’s Land Army.

Currently we support approximately 1,500 long-term beneficiaries and during 2008 we gave out £1.9 million in grants.

For those who are working:

Applicants must be experiencing exceptionally difficult circumstances of a temporary nature.
