YANA Active named Community Champions for 2024 by Drapers!
YANA™ Active held their first Wellness Workshop on Sunday 4th February in Fenwick’s Newcastle store to raise money for local charity, Newcastle Women’s Aid (NWA), and raised a huge £942.
Held in Fenwick’s colourful event space, Arthurs, YANA™’s Wellness Workshop was designed to empower their Everyday Warriors with knowledge from wellness and fitness experts in the North East, whilst raising money for NWA.
Co-founder and Director Charlotte Wilson explained “our Wellness Workshop was the first ticketed event we’ve held in Fenwick and in aid of our chosen charity, Newcastle Women’s Aid. We were so pleased to sell it out within a week.”
Since YANA™ Active’s launch in 2019, the brand has supported NWA each year with a key funding raising event and to date has raise several thousands of pounds for the charity, as well as donating a significant amount of clothing for women who need it most.
“The feedback on the day was fantastic and we’re looking forward to hosting more events in the future with Fenwick. We’re so proud to support NWA, a charity who empower women to rebuild their lives following dangerous situations. We believe all women should feel empowered and safe” said Co-founder and Director, Sophie Wilson.
In recognition of YANA's fundraising for NWA, Drapers, the UK Fashion Council, awarded YANA with a Community Champion award at the 2024 awards in London - a huge achievement for YANA and a nod to the support they give to their local community!
