The mental pressures on workers in the agricultural sector has never been greater. YANA - an East Anglian based charity - provides a help-line and specialist counselling to help. The Three Old Men in Boats - two of whom are members of Holt and District Rotary - have for the last two years undertaken paddling challenges on East Anglia's waterways to raise funds for YANA. However this year, with their combined age now standing at 245, they need some help with the paddling and are asking paddlers and rowers across the region to take to the water in July, August and September to collectively cover 500 miles and through sponsorship raise £10,000.

Donations can be paid via this Just Giving page - blue button - which is run by Holt and District Rotary whose webpage is here -

We are a registered charity (Charity Commission number 1038711) and as such are eligible for gift aid. If you are paddling and being sponsored please encourage your sponsors to donate direct using this route so that Just Giving can reclaim gift aid on our behalf if it is due.

Alternatively if you would like to start your own linked Just Giving page please follow the link - orange button.

Either way if making a donation please include the miles you have paddled in your comments so that we can keep track or alternatively if you are clocking miles without donating directly let us know your mileage by e-mail to:

holt.rotary.secretary@gmail.com

Send us your photos too so we can add them to our 2026 story.

All proceeds will go to YANA https://www.yanahelp.org

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND GOOD LUCK ON THE WATER
