Insurance company FBD puts local champions in the spotlight

Almost nine in every 10 farmers feel connected with their local community, according to a survey by insurance company FBD.

The ‘Rooted in the Community’ survey found 88% of farmers feel a bond with their locality, versus 75% of people living in urban areas.

They link this bond to local GAA clubs, churches, charity groups, neighbourhood watch initiatives, and tidy towns committees.
