Addington Fund

Addington Fund was set up in 2001 as the Churches’ response to Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), when it distributed grants totalling £10.3 million to over 22,000 applicants. With our focus now on rural housing, our Strategic Rural Housing Scheme provides homes for families needing to exit or retire from the industry who have limited housing options. In times of emergency and where hardship is evident, we continue to support viable farming families experiencing financial hardship through our Trustee’s Discretionary Fund.
