Staffordshire Young Farmers Christmas Tractor Run – Huge Success!

Staffordshire Young Farmers held their Christmas Decorated Tractor Run, with a new route in a new area, visiting the local villages of Derrington, Haughton, Gnosall, Woodseaves and Eccleshall. Over 90 tractors entertained the crowds.

This year’s tractor run was to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity and Staffordshire YFC and supported by local businesses. They managed to raise an impressive £9,500 for this incredible cause.

The gold sponsors for 2024 were JCB Agriculture and Halso UK Fuels.

David Timmis, Product & Marketing Manager for JCB Agriculture, said:

“JCB Agriculture is proud to be a main sponsor of Staffordshire YFC Christmas Tractor Run, raising money for 2 fantastic charities, both of which ensure the wellbeing of the next generation of future farmers.”

HALSO UK FUELS

Emma Osborn, Managing Director of Halso UK Fuels said:

“We are absolutely delighted to be part of this incredible charity event. Halso has been proudly supporting Young Farmers since 1967, and Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity holds a special place in our hearts as a charity that does life-changing work for children and their families. Events like these not only allow us to give back to the community but also bring people together in the spirit of generosity and joy. At Halso, we believe in the power of community and tradition, and this is a wonderful opportunity to continue that legacy while making a real difference.”

The event was hosted by The Eld Family who kindly judged the best vintage and modern with the best decorated lights.
