About this grant
The Farm Resilience Programme (FRP) is the flagship programme of The Royal Countryside Fund, started in 2016. It offers free training to UK farm businesses to help them understand their finances and operations and to build resilient, productive agriculture that works in harmony with nature. The stated aim is to help farming families become more financially and environmentally resilient, now and for future generations. The programme takes a business-first approach, helping farmers get a clearer picture of their finances so they can focus on the areas where change is most needed. Participants are brought together in local groups to share ideas, advice and best practice. Past participant accounts describe workshops on farm benchmarking, financial and accounts review, cost reduction, and succession planning. The Royal Countryside Fund runs related strands alongside the FRP, including Routes to Regen (regenerative farming transitions), Savings in Soil (input cost reduction and soil health, including a Norfolk cohort run with McDonald's UK & Ireland), Working with Water (water management, drought resilience and flooding), and Biodiversity. It also works with Farm Support Groups across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to reach isolated farmers with locally tailored help. The page does not describe a cash grant, a grant amount, or an application process with deadlines. The support offered is free training and advisory services delivered through locally based programmes across the four UK nations.
