Learn more about our charitable support
We are proud to support a wide range of charities and communities across the UK, through colleagues’ fundraising and volunteering their time.
AMC’s core function is to support the UK’s agricultural sector with the funding it needs to consolidate, grow and diversify. However, we are keen to also back the communities in which our customers operate, so we are looking to raise between £5,000 and £10,000 in 2021 to support a number of local and national charities and our charity of the year - Mental Health UK.
2021 Planned Activity
Throughout the year, colleagues from across AMC will look to support a wide variety of charitable organisations, often working with local businesses and business clubs.
During an uncertain 2021 we are looking to put on the following events where possible and safe to do so:

Day to Make a Difference 2020 & 2021
Every year, AMC colleagues volunteer a full day to support a local charity with much needed manpower and time. In 2020, due to coronavirus, our Day to Make a Difference was unable to take place, however in 2021 we are still hopeful that we can continue the good work of previous years. Various Covid restrictions have made it difficult to confirm a worthy and safe way to support the community so far but hopefully there will be more details to come later in the year.
If you would like to find out more about our charitable work, then please speak to your Regional Agricultural Manager.
