Successful applications

Applications for cash grants from the YOR4Good Fund were invited in March 2025. Thirty-four applications were received by the closing date of 31st May 2025 and the submissions were assessed by the YOR4Good panel.

The panel is delighted to report that twenty-four submissions passed the minimum scoring threshold and were awarded a YOR4Good Fund Cash Grant, resulting in donations in excess of £270,000 being made to charities and community groups in the Yorkshire and Humber area.

The scheme is a partnership between YORhub and the framework construction contractors, who provide cash and/or benefit in kind to contribute to the YOR4Good fund.
This fund provides support to community groups in our region.

YOR4Good would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the YORhub contractors from the YORcivil and YORbuild frameworks that have donated funds and make this possible.

The awarded applications are listed in alphabetical order on our YOR4Good 2025 beneficiaries page
