HFAA thank you for your support!

The Hadleigh Show and Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association firstly would like to thank the town and surrounding area for such wonderful support for our return to the show 2022. We had such a lovely day, with smiling faces throughout and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for us, we truly hope you enjoyed the day as much as we all did. As many are unaware, the objective of the Hadleigh Farmers Association is to be able to support local charities and over the pandemic years we were able to continue this, on a lower scale, by using our reserves with our core charities supported throughout the pandemic during their most difficult times. This year - following a huge effort by our committees and organisers, all of whom are volunteers - we are able to more than triple our donations to local charities.

The Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association have donated £25,000 to the following charities:- Hadleigh Elderly People's Christmas Appeal, Hadleigh Sea Scouts, The Porch Project, Hadleigh, Suffolk Young Farmers, Brett Valley, Gipping Valley and Hadleigh Young Farmers, Royal Agricultural Benevolent Association, Farm Community Network, YANA - You are Not Alone, The Rural Coffee Caravan, SERV - Blood Runners, SARS - Suffolk Accident Rescue Service, Dementia UK, Ipswich Hospital Childrens Ward, St Elizabeth Hospice, Suffolk Community Foundation and East Anglian Air Ambulance.
