Since 2023, we’ve proudly supported The DPJ Foundation as our chosen charity. Our goal is to raise both awareness and funds to help support the incredible work they do.
The DPJ Foundation is a Welsh mental health charity to support those in agriculture and rural communities with mental health problems.
The Foundation was set up in Pembrokeshire in July 2016 following the death of Daniel Picton-Jones. Daniel’s suicide rocked the community, his wife Emma realised very quickly the lack of support that was available for those suffering with poor mental health in rural communities. It was announced at Daniel’s funeral that a fund would be set up that would provide support to those, like Daniel, who were suffering from poor mental health. It became clear that there was a lack of awareness around mental health, everyone had been touched by suicide but very little was being done to combat the issue.
