KGM Hereford raises funds for “We Are Farming Minds”

• KGM Hereford raises £4,000 for local farming mental health charity, We Are Farming Minds
• Funds generated through May vehicle sales and a successful charity classic car show
• Car SOS, Shed and Buried TV presenter, and classic car enthusiast, Fuzz Townshend attended
• Initiative demonstrates KGM Hereford’s ongoing commitment to supporting the local community

KGM Motors UK is proud to announce that Hereford Motor Group has raised an impressive £4,000 for We Are Farming Minds, following a month-long fundraising campaign and charity classic car show held at the dealership on Kings Acre Road, Hereford on Saturday, 11^th July.

We Are Farming Minds is a registered UK charity based in Herefordshire dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of farmers and rural communities. Founded by local farmers Sam and Emily Stables, the charity offers 24/7 support lines, professional counselling, and free mental health workshops to break the stigma surrounding agricultural mental health. The charity was established to address a critical need: poor mental health in the agricultural sector is significantly higher than in other occupations, yet rural communities often have limited access to support.

Throughout May, the dealership pledged to donate £100 from every vehicle sold, encouraging customers to support a local cause while purchasing their next vehicle. The campaign culminated in a successful charity classic car show, which welcomed customers, local residents and automotive enthusiasts, with special guest TV’s Fuzz Townshend, helping make the day a memorable celebration.

Sam Davies, Director at KGM Hereford, said: “We are super proud to be a platinum sponsor and to support We Are Farming Minds, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the farming community. We had such a fabulous time on Saturday at our Classic Car Show with guests from our community, valued customers, the guys from We are Farming Minds, and of course the lovely Fuzz Townshend of Car SOS, and Shed and Buried. The partnership with the charity reflects our continued commitment to supporting the communities we serve, demonstrating how local businesses and customers can come together to make a meaningful difference.”

KGM Motors UK is proud to celebrate the efforts of its dealer network in supporting local communities and charities, with initiatives such as this demonstrating the positive impact dealerships can have beyond the showroom.
