The toys were part of a symbolic display outside the annual NFU Conference in Westminster, on 25 February, representing the farming futures that could be lost by the government’s planned family farm tax policy.

They have now been donated to the Mind in Camden shop on Camden Road, Camden, central London, with money raised from sales of the toys helping Mind in its work to support mental health.

Thousands of toys were donated by NFU members and have been sent to charities around the country.

Among those who donated was NFU Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire Chair Freya Morgan.

She said: “Several farmers across Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire donated farm toys and it’s wonderful to see them being put to good use.

“I hope, also, they spark an interest in farming and the countryside in some children who may never have been to a farm and seen a tractor in real life.”

Mrs Morgan, who runs an arable farm near Bedford, added: “Mental health is a big issue in farming, and wider society, and we are proud to do our bit to help a great charity in its work to support people dealing with metal health challenges.”

NFU Cambridgeshire County Chair Alison Morris also donated toys. She said: “My sons are now in their 20s driving the real farm machinery on our family farm. I hope that the children in the city of London get as much enjoyment out of the toys as they did.”

The Mind in Camden shop is in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the NFU will continue to highlight to all political parties why the family farm tax policy must be scrapped.
