My help will come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121)Tir Dewi is the diocese’s farming support network.Established in 2015, it offers a listening ear and a helping hand to rural families across the three counties who are facing financial or emotional difficulties.It was conceived by the Bishop’s Rural Affairs Adviser, Ven. Eileen Davies – a working farmer – who saw a gap in provision locally that was placing men, women and children at risk.It is described by Co-ordinator Gareth Davies as “a listening post, a signposting service”In other words, its role will be to identify the problem a farming family faces and find the best person or place to seek a resolution.Acting together is the only way we can reach the most vulnerable and together find a positive resolution to the problems facing those who farm Tir Dewi, Dewi’s land.
