Turton Young Farmers Christmas Tractor Run

We are back with our 3rd Charity Tractor Run, where we are welcoming clubs and tractor drivers to come and join us in hosting a Christmas tractor run in our local area.

This year our chosen charity is North West Blood BIkes along with raising funds to support our own club Turton Young farmers.

Blood BIkes aim to provide a totally free, but professional, voluntary service, out of normal working hours for the transportation of Urgent and Emergency items, e.g. blood, platelets, samples, donor breast milk, patient notes, theatre equipment, in fact anything that can be carried by motorcycle, solely for the benefit of the publicly funded emergency services and the patients being treated by them, within the NHS Hospitals.

They will provide this service through the night, and 24 hours per day at weekends and Bank Holidays, to the best of our ability, enabling hospital funding to be better spent on patient care.

Turton Young Farmers forms part of a 22000 member led organisation for youths aged 10-28 who have a keen interest in farming and the rural way of live, supporting them in learning life long skills.

Both organisations are run by volunteers and are very active groups within the local communities.
