The Rural Support Trust is a charitable organisation set up to work with rural communities when times get tough – ranging from biosecurity and employment issues to financial, animal welfare, and health and wellbeing challenges.
There are 14 Rural Support Trusts across the country, and each is run by local rural people who know the area, its people and its challenges.
The Rural Support Trust Northland’s vision is to support connected, empowered and resilient rural communities – and the LCA is proud to support this in turn.
Colin Gordon and Ray Hollis are Rodney locals and experienced ag facilitators for the Rural Support Trust Northland. They are both rural people with local knowledge who have faced the challenges that rural life brings, and are here to offer free and confidential advice to other Rodney locals.
