‘A fresh start isn’t a new place. It is a new mindset…’ The DPJ Foundation was
set up in July 2016 in Pembrokeshire, supporting those in the agricultural
sector. The mental health farming charity has grown and covers the whole of
Wales with all areas of support. The DPJ Foundation works with leading
organisations in agriculture including NFU Cymru, FUW, YFC, vets and Welsh
Government to help provide an accessible and flexible service. daniel

Foundation was set up in July 2016 following the death of Daniel Picton-Jones.
The DPJ Foundation aims to support those in the agricultural sector suffering
from poor mental health. Daniel’s mental health problems went undiagnosed and
unseen by many. Daniel was an agricultural contractor, he was part of a sector
with one of the highest suicide rates. His widow Emma decided to set up the
foundation to support the mental health of those in the farming sector, for
those who feel just as Daniel did, providing them with the support that he
didn’t know how to get.
