FUW Three Peaks Wales / 12 in 12

Following the recent announcement that Tir Dewi and Prostate Cymru have been selected as the FUW President’s charities for the 2026–2029 term, the Farmers’ Union of Wales will be taking on the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge.

On the 28th of August, FUW staff from all over Wales will be completing the Three Peaks alongside local teams and members who will tackle the highest peaks in each of Wales’ historic counties; 12 in 12.


Tir Dewi


Tir Dewi provides free, confidential, bilingual support to farmers and their families across Wales, offering practical, emotional and preventative help when farming life becomes overwhelming. Through its 365-day-a-year bilingual helpline, one-to-one support, farm visits and community outreach, the charity supports more than 5,000 people annually, delivering over 11,000 hours of frontline support.


Prostate Cymru


The Union is also supporting Prostate Cymru, a Welsh charity that works to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other prostate diseases, while supporting improvements in diagnosis, treatment and care for men across Wales.


The charity's appointment is particularly timely following the recent prostate cancer diagnoses of both FUW Regional Vice-Presidents, Alun Owen and Brian Bowen.


Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in Wales, with around one in eight men expected to be diagnosed during their lifetime. The partnership will provide an opportunity to raise awareness of the condition alongside supporting the charity's work over the next three years.


Please support our efforts to make a difference to farming families and rural communities across Wales.
