The Farmers’ Union of Wales (FUW) will continue their long-standing support of the Wales Air Ambulance Charity this month during many of its annual Farmhouse Breakfast Week events.

FUW President Ian Rickman named the lifesaving service as his chosen Charity for 2023 to 2026, with the breakfasts being the first fundraising event of this year.

Over twenty events will be held across the length and breadth of Wales, bringing rural communities together over a hearty meal while raising money for local and national charities.

Last year, Farmhouse Breakfast Week raised more than £13,500 for the Wales Air Ambulance.

Ian Rickman said: "January can be a challenging time for farmers, with short days, cold weather, and plenty to do on the farm.

“The Farmhouse Breakfast Week offers a perfect opportunity for farmers, friends, and our rural communities to come together, share the load, and enjoy a hearty breakfast. “There’s a warm welcome to everyone to join us - and we look forward to successful events in kitchens, community centres and cafes across Wales again this year, celebrating the best of local produce and raising funds for important charitable causes, including the Wales Air Ambulance Charity."

Farmhouse Breakfast Week is supported by FUW Insurance Services Ltd.

Ann Beynon OBE, Chair of FUW Insurance Services, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Farmhouse Breakfast Week once again this year. Rooted at the heart of rural communities, our business is proud to help bring people together to celebrate exceptional local Welsh produce, enjoy the company of friends and neighbours, and to explain how our services play a vital role in supporting rural businesses.

“The week perfectly showcases the strength and spirit of rural Wales – all over a plate of breakfast. We’re also incredibly grateful to the local producers and volunteers whose support helps make it possible year after year."

Dr Sue Barnes, Wales Air Ambulance Chief Executive, said: “Farmhouse Breakfast Week is a wonderful way to reconnect with friends and truly welcome in 2026!

“Our staff and volunteers are looking forward to supporting all the events that are kindly fundraising for us.

“We would like to extend our thanks to FUW President Ian Rickman and the entire team for their support during our Charity partnership.

“On 1 March, we will mark our 25th anniversary. We are so grateful to all our supporters who have been part of our journey and made Wales Air Ambulance what it is today. Created by the people of Wales, for the people of Wales, the Charity really is a Welsh success story.”
