Today we sat down with Rev David Newlove to hear all about his journey to supporting farmers of all ages through the Cumbria Agricultural Chaplaincy.

David shares his own first hand experiences of growing up around farming and why he's so passionate about supporting farmers, especially those in the Young Farmers Clubs. David also shares his own personal experiences around suicide and how this has impacted his passion and purpose but also how he was able to navigate through these challenges and come out the other side.

Trigger warning - this podcast discusses suicide and the impact of suicide on young people.

A powerful story from James Campbell who works for The Well - An organisation supporting those who are recovering from Drug & Alcohol abuse. 

James' story is so inspiring on how his journey to recovery involved finding his faith and experiencing times of challenge that meant he learnt who he really is and why he is here.

We talk about Purpose, faith and resilience as well as what has helped most in his journey to recovery.

Please note, all views shared on faith or religion in the Podcast are the personal views of those speaking and not of iCan Wellbeing Group CIO
