We aim to ensure our services are:
• Responsive to the identified needs of the local farming community
• Transparent and accountable in the way they are operated and funded
• Accessible to all who wish to attend
• Compliant with best practice in equal opportunity, health and safety, etc
• Delivered in an open and supportive environment
