Farmer Wants a Wife showcases Drought Angels

Seven’s Farmer Wants A Wife has partnered with Queensland rural charity, Drought Angels, to help provide financial assistance and relief to primary producers across Australia impacted by drought and natural disasters.

Wednesday’s episode will see Farmer Paige takes part in a community fundraising event for Drought Angels.

Seven has delivered additional support to Drought Angels through the creation of a free television commercial that will run on air and 7plus.

Seven West Media Chief Marketing Officer, Charlotte Valente, said: “In the past two years our Australian farmers have experienced drought, floods, fires, mouse plagues and COVID-19. Recently farmers on the east coast have endured Australia’s costliest flood in history. They need our support more than ever before and we hope our important partnership with Drought Angels helps raise awareness and provide meaningful relief and support to our farmers and their families.”

Natasha Johnston, CEO of Drought Angels, said: “Throughout the years we have forged amazing relationships with Australian farmers. During that time, we have seen love blossom and babies born. When times have been tough, we have proudly been there to assist, helping with birthday presents and putting Christmas dinners on tables.

“But there is also a flip side. Due to the remote nature of the farming lifestyle, many farmers live alone. We have witnessed the isolation of many farmers as they endure ongoing disasters without that special person by their side. Supporting those in our ‘backyard’ right now has never been more important.”
