"Give a Little, Make a Lot” says Addington Fund
The Country Smallholder
|January 2026
Addington Fund is proud to announce the relaunch of its "Give a Little, Make a Lot" scheme, supported by the Livestock Auctioneers Association (LAA).
-
This vital initiative invites farmers to make a small donation each time they sell livestock, helping raise essential funds to support the farming community across England and Wales. Originally launched in the wake of the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak, the Give a Little, Make a Lot scheme was created to provide a way for farmers to give back after receiving vital help from Addington Fund. Over two decades later, the challenges facing agriculture remain significant - from rising costs and weather extremes to housing pressures in rural areas - making the charity's work more important than ever.
