Emma Forrest Joins YANA as New Trustee

Henry Kilvert, former Chair, stood down as trustee at the end of his term in June.  We are hugely grateful to Henry who did a fantastic job seeing us through the process of becoming an independent charity and our first Chair of trustees.

Emma Forrest Yana Trustee

We are delighted to have appointed a new trustee, Emma Forrest. Emma grew up in West Suffolk spending as much time as possible on the family farm. She has witnessed how the increasing pressures put immense strain on individuals and families, and is committed to supporting YANA with their mission to Improve Mental Health in Agriculture and Rural Businesses in East Anglia.

Emma has extensive experience working with both local and national charities, where she has developed successful strategies to grow fundraising income through events, major gifts, and trust funding. She’s passionate about making sure every supporter feels valued and can see the impact of their donation, no matter the amount.
