YOR4Good is the community grant initiative of YORhub
The scheme is a partnership between East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Leeds City Council, Scarborough Borough Council, Sheffield City Council and Rotherham Metropolitan District Council, and its framework construction contractors, who use part of their corporate social responsibility commitments to contribute to the YOR4Good fund. This fund provides a combination of cash and/or resources to support community groups in our region.
