Milk Tankers to be used in rural mental health campaign

Milk tankers and feed trucks from our customers; Arrabawn, Aurivo, Carbery, Dairygold, Glanbia, Kerry, Lakelands, North Cork Creameries, Ornua and Tipperary Co-Op are all included in the campaign to raise awareness for the Samaritans free phone number.

The campaigns was launched by the Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, food and the Marine on the Hynes dairy farm in Aherla, Co. Cork. The campaign aims to target farmers and others located in rural Ireland , those who have a higher risk of isolation and loneliness.

The SoftTrace team would like to applaud our customers for getting involved in this initiative.

SoftTrace at the SDT 2022 Spring Conference
