Prep pupils raising money for rural mental health support

Prep pupils, Olivia and Jack have taken part in a mental health fundraising relay, ‘Scrambling for YANA’, in memory of their father Patrick. They started off the 130-mile relay with their family in Norfolk on Thursday 5th May, and were there to complete the event at the British Pig and Poultry Fair on Tuesday 10th May.

The rest of the relay was completed by 30 volunteers from across the agricultural and poultry industry, many of whom knew Patrick or benefited from the work he did for the industry.

YANA provides rural mental health support for those involved in farming and other rural businesses affected by stress and depression. The charity supported Mr Joice through his illness in 2019, and ‘Scrambling for YANA’ has raised over £5000 so far!
