Help us support the most vulnerable children in Yorkshire
Yorkshire Children’s Trust
Yorkshire Children’s Trust was founded by two sets of parents after their daughters were diagnosed with Leukaemia. The charity has set out to help children and their families cope with the emotional and financial strain of many
life-changing illnesses, something the founders of the charity understand after dealing with their own children going through the long and harsh treatments for cancer.

Relying heavily on voluntary donations, the charity was founded to help families who can fall through the ‘funding gap’ of traditional support channels and has successfully helped hundreds of children since it started.
From inception it was decided that Yorkshire Children’s Trust would not just be a cancer charity, but a charity designed from the ground up to provide help and support to children who fall through traditional funding gaps of support through the NHS, local authorities and other charitable organisations.
Yorkshire Children’s Trust look at children that need support as individuals and will help to support their long term illness or disability, be it a physical or mental impairment.
The team liaise with parents, medical professional, teachers, social workers and key workers to ensure the best possible outcomes with a range of support options targeted at their needs.
You can help these children; with a one off or regular donation, we will pay for:
Support targeted at supporting children’s emotional and financial needs:
50:50 Grants to help families cover the cost of expensive equipment that are not covered by the NHS or the local authority;
Hospital Stay Grant for a child that may be an inpatient for weeks at a time, this covers the cost of extra expenses such as parking, travel costs;
Breaks for affected families that include mum, dad, siblings and carers at our brand new holiday home at the seaside in Skegness;
Counselling & Play Therapies for not just the child, but parents and siblings and medical professions;
Annual Hospital Visits offering children gifts at Christmas and Easter to break up the monotony of being in hospital for extended periods.
