"I want to say a very special thank you to each and every customer and staff colleague who helped us throughout 2022.

"As we continue to support the needs of local people living with kidney disease through Kidney Care UK we are also pleased to support the vital work of the Air Ambulance NI Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS). It’s important for us at Countryside Services that both of these charities support rural farming families.”

Commenting Jo-Anne Dobson said: “As a farming family we know first-hand, through my son Mark, the impact of chronic kidney disease and I am so proud to be part of a team which is dedicated to providing support to people and families across Northern Ireland.

“The customers and staff at Countryside Services have been a tremendous support to us throughout 2022 and I am delighted that they are continuing their partnership with Kidney Care UK throughout 2023.

“At Kidney Care UK we provide dedicated emotional and practical support to everyone affected, including to local farming families.

“I’m really looking forward to continuing to work alongside this amazing team throughout the year to raise funds to help support our ongoing work and also to raise awareness about the need to have that family conversation about organ donation.”
