Andrew Ward set up Forage Aid to collect and send food to farms in Wales and Cumbria hit by snow in spring 2013. He looks back at the project with Sarah Swadling.
After snow and freezing temperatures hit farms in Cumbria and Wales at the height of lambing season in the Spring, Andrew Ward was moved to help farmers who were running desparately low on feed. From his Lincolnshire farm he co-ordinated collections of forage and straw, calling the project 'Forage Aid'. He shares his experiences with Sarah Swadling and describes how it felt to meet some of the people he helped.
