"“I was interested to find out that its first round of grants will be aimed at helping deal with loneliness and isolation. Coming from a farming family I appreciate that there is a problem of loneliness and isolation in rural communities where people can feel disconnected from one another. I was also at university during Covid and know how hard the lockdown was for some people." Henry is well into his training schedule and has already raised over £400 towards his target of £1,000."
