NFYFC
The National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (NFYFC) is one of the largest rural youth organisations in the UK.
It heads a body of around 662 Young Farmers’ Clubs (YFCs) throughout England and Wales dedicated to supporting young people in agriculture and the countryside.
NFYFC provides a framework within which its clubs can offer their members a wealth of new experiences and opportunities for personal development and achievement, a much-needed social and educational network, and a safe environment for activities.
YFCs
Led by young people, for young people, Young Farmers' Clubs provide their 23,000 members aged between 10 and 26 a unique opportunity to develop skills, work with their local community, travel abroad, take part in a varied competitions programme and enjoy a dynamic social life.
HOPS Labour Solutions Ltd
In addition to its youthwork activities, the NFYFC also runs a company called HOPS Labour Solutions which is a key source of funding for NFYFC. HOPS is a Home Office-appointed operator of the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme (SAWS) and runs its own programme alongside this called the Seasonal Workers Programme (SWP).
