Mini Fonterra tanker sales to support rural mental health initiatives

The Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand (RHĀNZ) is delighted to announce its partnership with Fonterra Farm Source to support rural mental health initiatives.

From 1 September this year, $10 from every Mini Fonterra Tanker sold has gone to RHĀNZ to help its community initiatives.

RHĀNZ Chief Executive, Michelle Thompson, says improving mental health outcomes for rural communities is a top priority for all 38 RHĀNZ members.

“Right now there is increasing concern about the pressures building on farming families and the health providers who look after them. Therefore, when Fonterra Farm Source said they would give us $10 from each mini tanker sale to support our work, we were really delighted.

“The partnership was announced yesterday at the Fonterra Farm Source Cambridge store and we would particularly like to thank Shelley Cresswell, Category Marketing Manager,

Farm Source and Matt Shirtcliffe, from Shirtcliffe and Co, for making this partnership a reality.”

The Mini Fonterra Tankers – available through Farm Source stores and online at
https:https://store.nzfarmsource.co.nz/ - are ‘limited edition diecast replicas’ and are the first of their type in the world.

“They are really cool collectables and would make the perfect Christmas present,” Thompson says.

The additional funding will be used to supplement RHĀNZ’s Government-funded Rural Mental Health Initiatives programme and their rural health research agenda.

RHĀNZ Chairperson, Dr Jo Scott-Jones, says that when world markets are dictating prices and adverse weather events are combining to cause so much pain, it is great to see Fonterra Farm Source stepping up to help rural mental health and wellbeing.
