Fakenham insurance broker Lycetts boosts YANA rural mental health charity with £5,000

A Norfolk-based charity has received a donation of more than £5,000 from insurance broker Lycetts, which has a branch in Fakenham.

YANA (You Are Not Alone) will use the money to help and support those working in the farming and rural sector who suffer from poor mental health.

Employees at Lycetts 16 UK offices raised £5,596 in a sponsored moustache-growing challenge, which was match-funded by the company’s owner, Benefact Trust. The money was divided between YANA, from Norwich, and Coats for Kids.

Lycetts sales and marketing director, Peter Knowles, said: “We are delighted to help these two important charities, which provide much-needed support and advice to help individuals who are sometimes overlooked.

“Giving to charity is at the heart of what we do with our parent company Benefact Group, the fourth biggest corporate charity donor in the UK.”
