NFU ESSEX CHARITABLE TRUST
The NFU Essex Charitable Trust was created to further the understanding of farming and the countryside in Essex, as well as offering support to those in need and involved in agricultural and rural communities in the county. The funds were originally collected from farmers within the county and used to support the local work of the National Farmers Union.
