Case Studies
From flower shows to school to farm trips, from ploughing matches to bee-keeping, from young farmers to saving lives, BAS has funded and supported projects that have made a difference to many people’s lives. These are just some examples of how our grants have been put to good use.
Fran is now a qualified vet but back in April 2015 she applied to the Society for a travel grant. She had been an active member of Highbridge Young Farmers Club but was now studying veterinary medicine in Slovakia.
Sally is passionate about the Guernsey Cow and is expanding the herd at her farm in Langport. She is keen to educate people to the benefits of the breed and the milk they produce and wants to increase recognition.
BAS has made many grants to Somerset Young Farmers including sponsoring their annual county rally, international travel grants and helping individuals to attend competitions all over the UK.
The Society has twice sponsored the NHLS. Firstly in 2015 for their annual competition which was held at Chew Valley Lake in Somerset.
