At Yorkshire Choice Homes, we believe that building strong communities goes hand in hand with building quality homes.
The YCH (Your Community Help) Fund is our way of supporting local groups and grassroots projects that are at the heart of many communities. From school initiatives and wellbeing workshops to environmental projects and local sports teams — we’re here to back the brilliant groups that make a difference.
Grants of £100 to £500 are available to support small-scale projects that have a big impact.
We’re particularly keen to support initiatives that:
- Promote education and learning
- Encourage wellbeing and positive mental health
- Enhance local green spaces or the environment
- Support participation in grassroots sport and physical activity
Applications are reviewed twice a year by our Community Champions, a team of Yorkshire Choice Homes employees, who live and work in the communities we support.
While we’d love to fund every idea, please note that applications are competitive and funding is limited. Be sure to read the terms and conditions before applying.
Keep an eye on our website and social media for further updates and details.
