The Bishop’s Lent Appeal 2025
 

 
The Bishop’s Lent Appeal 2025 aims to raise money for YANA to help fund its telephone helpline. YANA provides rural mental health support for those involved in agriculture and other rural businesses affected by stress and depression. YANA’s mission is to improve mental health in agriculture and rural businesses in East Anglia.
 
YANA means ‘You Are Not Alone’. The Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Revd Graham Usher says:
 
“YANA is doing vital work by being alongside people working in farming and rural businesses and offering help and hope to those struggling with stress or depression. Those living and working in rural areas are often facing increasing challenges and I have been very impressed by all YANA does to care for people.”
 
As well as a confidential helpline, YANA is also investing in mental health training and suicide prevention. In 2023 YANA had a 20% increase in the requests for help made to the helpline.
 
Any money raised from the Bishop’s Lent Appeal 2025 will go towards funding YANA’s telephone helpline, offering confidential support to those in need. Find out more about YANA: www.yanahelp.org
