- Help towards IT costs.
Bursaries of up to £1,000 are available, use our contact form to enquire about applying.
Archie Joynes is one of the recent beneficiaries of the Revesby Rural Activities Fund. He completed a Level 3 City and Guilds Course in Equine Management at Riseholme College before being accepted onto a forgework course at Moreton Morrell College, which he started in September 2024.
He has had a passion for horses for a long time and has always wanted to be a farrier, having spent some time with local farriers in the area.
Here’s what he had to say…
“I’m so grateful for the grant I received from the fund – it helped me a great deal, enabling me to buy a portable forge to practise my metal work skills. I enjoy living in a rural area, but it does bring some problems when finding work. It is great that there is a fund for people such as myself to help.”

When Hannah Benson saw that the Revesby Rural Activities Fund was being promoted through Lincolnshire Young Farmers, she decided to apply and was successful.
Here’s what she had to say…
“I never thought I would be successful in the application but it goes to show, if you don’t try you never know! I am now able to pull a trailer and it’s all down to the Revesby Country Fair bursary. So thank you!”
