Who we help

RABI helps farmers, farm managers, agricultural workers and their dependents who have less than £8,000 in savings, according to the following criteria:

1. The retired applicants must normally be aged at least 60 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.

Those who are working:

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

Over the years, the majority of RABI's support and assistance has been given to elderly or disabled people who have worked in farming.

RABI has helped thousands of working families through BSE and the foot and mouth epidemics.

Currently we support approximately 1,500 long-term beneficiaries and during 2004 we gave out £1.35 million.

RABI also owns two residential care homes – Manson House in Bury St Edmunds and Beaufort House in Burnham on Sea.
