Providing grants to support children and young people in the York area.

About York Children's Trust

The main aim of the Charity is to support and help improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people under the age of 25 years who live within a 20 mile radius of York.


We currently offer grants to individual children, young people and families to help with social, educational and medical needs where there is no statutory funding available. In addition, we provide grants to individuals who have a recognised talent in sport, art or music and need help with the costs of pursuing their talent.


We also consider applications from local charities, organisations and local children's and youth groups including scouts and guiding.
