RSABI Counselling

At Scot Agri, we recognise the importance of mental health in the agriculture industry, where long hours, isolation, and financial pressures can take a toll.

We’ve partnered with RSABI, a leading charity offering practical, emotional, and financial support to people in Scottish agriculture. Whether you’re facing stress, loneliness, or just need someone to talk to, help is available!
