    The NFU has led a 130-mile egg and spoon relay race to raise more than £6,000 for rural mental health charity You Are Not Alone (YANA).

    It was in memory of NFU poultry member and former Poultry Industry Programme chair Patrick Joice, who suffered from depression following the diagnosis of a rare cancer which claimed his life in 2019. Throughout the illness, Mr Joice was committed to raising awareness around mental health.

    More than 30 people took part in the relay, which ran from Norfolk to Warwickshire and was carried over the finish line at the Pig and Poultry Fair by Mr Joice’s family.

    NFU poultry board chair James Mottershead took part in the relay. He said: “This event was a fantastic way to show our support for charities like YANA and honour Patrick’s legacy.

    “There are so many people who rely on charities like YANA to help support their mental health and every penny raised through this event will help YANA continue this vital work in rural communities.

    “I also hope this fundraiser helps to continue Patrick’s legacy in opening up the conversation around mental health and shows anyone who may be struggling in silence that help is out there.”
