YOR4Good

Our community fund, YOR4Good, supports economic regeneration in the area covered by YORhub’s frameworks.

It’s funded by donations of cash or benefits in kind from contractors and consultants when they’re awarded projects through our frameworks.

What does it do?

YOR4Good provides grants of up to £10,000 to community groups to support local economic regeneration projects.

Projects can also be initiated directly by contractors local to the area in which they are working while they are on site. 

YOR4Good is governed by a panel of contractors appointed to the frameworks and representatives from the YORcivil and YORbuild frameworks.

YOR4Good accepts applications from community groups and organisations located within the area covered by YORhub’s frameworks.

How to apply 2024

We are pleased to announce that the next round of the YOR4Good Fund will be open for applications for cash grants from 5th February 2024 to 31st March 2024. Applications cannot be accepted after the closing date.

Applications are made through the East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s grant application portal, Flexigrant, generally up to a maximum value of £10,000 per project. Guidance notes on how to apply are available below.

If you are unable to register or submit an electronic YOR4Good application through Flexigrant, please contact Stan Brown, YOR4Good Coordinator.

Resource Support Initiative

In addition to the above, as of the 5th February 2024 the Resource Support initiative is being launched. This will enable local community groups to apply to receive support from resources that are available during a YORhub framework construction project being delivered nearby. This form of initiative is not a means of receiving a cash grant, but intended to take advantage of resources donated by contractors in the form of labour, materials or plant from their own firm or their supply chain, often known as benefit in kind.
