18for18

Aim

Today, we invite you to donate to our special donation drive. Yorda is turning 18 this year and we are asking for a donation of £18

It’s  been a tough few months for us here at Yorda.

 We’ve had quite a few fires to fight:

1.    Our heating was broken and we have had to find funds to help us fix it

2.    We’ve had a huge reduction in income over the year based on some grants reducing or coming to an end.

3.    Same as everyone else our costs have changed with rising energy and food prices  and soon to be going up again with the rise in National Minimum Wage.

4.    All our grant writing has been put on hold whilst we’ve had to wait for a whole year of being a newly fledged charity to pass

5.    We are really struggling to recruit staff for our childcare projects.

 So, as some of you may be aware in response to some of the above, we’ve had to reduce our level of services, which means cuts to our usual Adventure Holidays and we’ve had to reduce our childcare services and change up our services to adapt. We are feeling very frustrated BUT, in the typical Yorda way, we want to look forward and try and turn some of this around…but we need your help folks..to fight the fire with us. 

We turn 18 this year so we are launching our 18for18 Campaign, please consider donating £18 to us or any amount that you can manage as every penny counts, to help us weather this tricky storm. If you can spare £18 or any amount that feels right to you, your contribution will make a meaningful impact. Together, we can continue giving our children and families the best care, the best play and a place to go where they feel at home. We can make a difference in the lives of others but we can’t continue giving our Yorda best without your help. 

All we need is one donation, simple but so effective.
