LIVESTOCK MATTERS
Bishopton Veterinary Group has launched its
new Farming Charity Calendar for 2017 after
hundreds entered its competition to capture
Yorkshire farming at its best.
All proceeds from the sale of the calendars are
going to the mental health charity Mind which
has helped both clients and employees of the
North Yorkshire practice over the past year.
The calendar is the result of a hugely successful
Facebook photography competition which
attracted hundreds of outstanding photographs
of farming across North Yorkshire to be
included on the Bishopton Farm Team
Facebook page. Narrowing the photographs
down to a mere thirteen proved so difficult the
judging team included a collage page on the
reverse for additional shots.
The calendar was the brainchild of Farm Vet
Dan King, who felt it would be a great way
to show off some fabulous Yorkshire farming
scenes whilst raising much-needed funds for the
national charity.
Dan said: ‘It was incredibly hard to narrow
down to the final shots but we think they really
show North Yorkshire farming at its best. We
chose to support Mind as it is an incredible
cause that helps the one in four people in the
UK who experience a mental health problem
every year. The money raised will fund their
vital work including the Mind Infoline.‘
Charlotte Drake, Community Fundraiser for
Mind, added: ‘Take Notice is one of the
five ways to wellbeing. This calendar focuses
on the beauty of nature and taking five to
appreciate its wonder and how it is captured in
these photos is sure to make you smile. We
want to thank Bishopton Veterinary Group for
raising awareness and funds for our important
work in ensuring everyone with a mental health
problem gets the respect and support they
deserve.‘
The calendars are available to buy at the
Bishopton Veterinary Practices in Ripon, Pateley
Bridge, Easingwold and York, priced at £10
each. They are also stocked at the following
outlets: Ripon Farm Services, Ripon Agricultural
Supply Services, J Todd & Son, Green’s
Country Store, Mole Country Valley, Houseman
Contractors and York Auction Centre. Many
thanks to all of the above for their support.
