The Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs (SAYFC) Membership Rises by\u00a040%\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s one inflationary figure worth celebrating!<\/p>\n

Covid was hard on Young Farmers with isolation from lock downs, the cancellation of many events, and of course this affected cash flow and membership. As one would expect from Young Farmers, they just got on with it and many of their events and meetings became virtual and they met up in person when circumstances permitted.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a new world now, and it was great to see a year of new projects and events with members having fun.<\/p>\n

The activity throughout the organisation has led to the growth in membership from 2,500 to 3,500 in the past year and that number is expected to rise even more on the back of a drive to develop our offering for members.<\/p>\n

With our new national structure, we have a fresh focus on how we raise funds, celebrate success, grow our organisation and help even more young people in rural communities be the very best form of themselves that they can be.<\/p>\n

It has been an exciting year for SAYFC. A year of many \u201cfirsts\u201d and \u201cachievements\u201d. Some examples of this success:<\/p>\n
