Youth & Future Leaders
Investing in young people builds stronger communities and equips future leaders.
Over the past three years, we have provided over £10,000 in direct grants and sponsorships to support young people across the York area. This is in addition to donations from Santa Sleigh.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)
We sponsor candidates for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) outdoor training camps, maintain active partnerships with local schools, and provide essential grants and equipment to local Scout groups, youth clubs, and educational programmes.
Santa Sleigh
Each December, Santa, his sleigh, and volunteers visit York neighbourhoods for street collections. Funds raised support local partner charities who help staff the routes.
