Previously, the Holt Scarecrow Trail has raised over £23,000, firmly establishing itself as a cherished annual part of village life in Holt, attracting visitors from all over the country. This remarkable community event serves as a fundraising platform for worthy charities and local community groups.

Alongside our continued support of local community groups, 2026 will see donations given to Anaphylaxis U.K.
Anaphylaxis UK is the only UK-wide charity operating solely for the growing numbers of people at risk of serious allergies and anaphylaxis.
Anaphylaxis is a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. While there is no cure, Anaphylaxis UK believes that through education, awareness, support and training, we can create a bright future for those living with serious allergies.
Our mission is to offer evidence-based information and create a safer environment for everyone with allergies by working with and offering low-cost training for schools, pre-schools, colleges, health professionals and businesses.
Anaphylaxis UK receives no government funding. Much of the charity’s support, information and guidance is provided free of charge, meaning it relies heavily on fundraising and the generosity of supporters to continue its vital work. The charity is delighted to have been nominated as Holt’s Charity of the Year and looks forward to working with the village community to help create a brighter, safer future.
