youngsRPS Celebrating Women in Agriculture with Hexham Book Festival

youngsRPS Proudly Sponsors Helen Rebanks Author Event at Hexham Book Festival Celebrating Women in Agriculture

As an ardent supporter of both literature and the agricultural community, youngsRPS is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the Helen Rebanks Author Event at the upcoming Hexham Book Festival. This event, showcasing the remarkable journey of Helen Rebanks, encapsulates the spirit of resilience, innovation, and dedication that defines women in agriculture.

Helen Rebanks, a farmer, businesswoman, teacher, conservationist, and working mother, embodies the multifaceted roles women play in agriculture. Her narrative, drawn from the heart of Cumbria, resonates deeply with the challenges and triumphs experienced on a modern farm. With 500 sheep, 50 cattle, 20 chickens, six sheepdogs, two ponies, a husband, and four children, Helen's story unveils the untold narrative of farm life - a tale of relentless hard work, nurturing a family, and sustaining a farm for generations to come.

"At youngsRPS, we recognise the invaluable contributions of women in agriculture," said Graeme Bruce, Managing Director at youngsRPS. "Although still a male-dominated industry, women are certainly now making their mark within agriculture in the UK. The nature in which the industry is changing means that new skills and talent are required to ensure sustainability. youngsRPS boasts a workforce where women hold the majority, with over 63% of our current staff being female. This commitment to gender diversity is a testament to our belief in the talent, expertise, and leadership potential of women in all facets of our business."

The Farmers Wife, Helen Rebanks' narrative, sheds light on the vital role women play in ensuring the continuity of agricultural practices while embracing innovation and sustainability. It underscores the significance of understanding where our food comes from and the dedication of those who put it on our tables.

By sponsoring the Helen Rebanks Author Event, youngsRPS reaffirms its commitment to supporting women in agriculture and empowering them to thrive in this dynamic industry. Through initiatives like these, youngsRPS aims to foster a more inclusive and diverse agricultural community, where every voice is heard and celebrated.

Join us at the Hexham Book Festival as we delve into the inspiring story of Helen Rebanks and honour the resilience and dedication of women in agriculture.
