A charity which supports farming and horticultural communities in Lincolnshire said it had seen a 90% increase to its helpline in a year.The organisation said many of the calls related to concerns over money and debt."Last year alone we've had a 90% increase in calls to our helpline which is astounding," said the charity's head Amy Thomas."It is really worrying and quite sad so many people need our help.
"People are really beginning to see the reduction in what they've been receiving in subsidy and having to really think quite hard about what they are going to do next." Ms Thomas said they also received a number of calls relating to family and relationship issues, adding that loneliness was a "massive issue" for rural communities.It operates the helpline alongside running health drop-in sessions and screenings and also offers one-to-one home and business visits.
