Murray Irrigation 'Flanno for a Farmer' fundraiser

13 August 2024

Murray Irrigation is throwing our support behind 'Flanno for a Farmer' to help raise funds for a cause that is close to our hearts.

Staff will be donning their favourite flannelette shirts on Friday 23 August, in a bid to raise $500 towards Farm Angels, which this year is aiming to get one million Aussies wearing a flanno to raise much-needed funds to support farmers impacted by natural disasters, mental wellbeing issues, and the rising costs of primary production. 

Farm Angels was established in 2014 to respond to the needs of primary producers impacted by prolonged drought, initially in Queensland. 

Since then, the charity organisation has expanded to provide financial assistance, food hampers, care packs, and mental wellbeing support to over 4,700 primary producers affected by all natural disasters (drought, flood, fire, and plagues) in over 1,300 communities across Australia. 

Murray Irrigation staff will be getting involved in a number of internal fundraising activities as part of our 'Flanno for a Farmer Day' next Friday - but we also welcome donations from the broader community.
