With your support, we make things better.
We are a new charity. But we come with a huge amount of experience, a big heart, and the chance for those who work with and support us to have a real say in the way we write the future.
Yorkshire Children’s Charity doesn’t solely provide financial help. We also offer friendship, and can be there to help you with the changing needs of your child as they grow up.
Care is the foundation of our organisation and runs through every part of our work. We care deeply for our beneficiaries and their families, and for the schools and communities we support.
We care that we meet the expectations of our supporters and spend the money we raise responsibly. And we care that we build a legacy that will benefit generations of children to come.
We understand that, sometimes, everyone needs a helping hand. Whether you’re in need of a wheelchair, specialist equipment or a monetary grant, turn to us – and we commit to doing all we can to help you.
When life is hard, or even feels impossible, we give you the support you need to make things better.
We will reach every child in Yorkshire who needs our help and make childhood poverty a thing of the past.
Our work must be fun. We want to give all children and young people the chance to be their best, and make life more manageable for those who struggle. Being young is all about having fun, and happy children are the vital outcome to our work.
We will reach every child in Yorkshire who needs our help
It’s a privilege to be able to make a difference to those who need our help. We never take that for granted, and our strong values drive and guide everything we do.
With an honest, hardworking approach, we provide consistent care and kindness to help every child, no matter their background, find happiness and achieve their potential.
It’s crucial that we are easily accessible to our beneficiaries and their families, to our supporters (young and old), and to our schools and communities. Most of all, we want the world to be accessible to the children and young people we support.
Our focus, first and foremost, is the children we support. They are the driving factor in every decision we make, and we only adopt practices that are in their best interests. We will never lose sight of the struggles they face and the responsibility we are entrusted with to make a difference.
We are honest and transparent with our donors about how and where their money is spent. Our values, behaviour and beliefs govern our everyday work and are consistent throughout our organisation.
Care is at the heart of our organisation and across all aspects of our work. We care for our beneficiaries, their families, and the communities we support. We care that we meet the expectations of our sponsors and supporters, and spend the money we raise responsibly, meaningfully and efficiently. We care that we build a legacy that will benefit generations of children to come.
Our work is measurable, and we can tangibly demonstrate the difference we make. We understand the communities we operate in and the struggles our families face. We tackle these issues head on and don’t stop trying until we’ve changed a life.
We passionately believe that our beneficiaries must always come first. They are at the heart of every decision we make and form the very essence of our organisation. All children, regardless of ability or circumstance, have the right to fulfil their own unique potential.
Our work must be fun. We want to give all children and young people the chance to be their best, and make life more manageable for those who struggle. Being young is all about having fun, and happy children are the vital outcome to our work.
Here are some of the generous, kind, considerate and hardworking companies we work with.
We’re a new charity with a fresh approach. Yet we’re led by a team who’ve spent years working with not for profits to change the lives of disadvantaged children. Together, we raise funds, plan events, and connect people who share our dedication to making the world a better place for the young people of Yorkshire.
