This year marks a remarkable milestone for York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity as the charity celebrates 30 years of supporting patients, families and staff across local hospitals.

To commemorate this special anniversary, the charity is inviting members of the community to get involved by organising their own fundraising events. From bake sales and coffee mornings to quiz nights, sponsored challenges or completely unique ideas, supporters are encouraged to turn their passions into activities that will make a difference.

Fundraising offers an opportunity for individuals to honour the memory of someone special, or simply to give back for the care themselves or their loved ones have received, by supporting a ward or department close to their heart. Every contribution will help the charity continue enhancing patient care and supporting hospital staff for years to come.

The charity’s dedicated Community Fundraising team is available to support participants every step of the way, from developing ideas and planning events to celebrating fundraising achievements.

Becky White, Community Fundraiser at York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity, said:
"Anyone interested in organising a fundraising activity is encouraged to get in touch to share their ideas and receive guidance. Together, the community can help make this 30th anniversary year one to remember."
