Ways to give
We are incredibly grateful for the generous support we receive from charitable Trusts and Foundations. This funding is crucial to our work and has a direct, lasting impact on the lives of the young people, families and volunteers we support.
The island is entirely funded through donations, which means the backing of Trusts and Foundations plays a vital role in sustaining and developing our services. These contributions help us continue to support young people facing a wide range of challenges.
Some Trusts kindly support our core running costs, helping keep our day-to-day operations strong, while others fund specific areas of work - such as training new volunteer mentors, running targeted youth programmes, or developing new services based on community needs.
If you are a Charitable Trustee or connected to a Charitable Foundation that aligns with our mission to support young people, we would love to hear from you. Please contact our fundraising team direct for more information on how your support can help us positively impact young lives: fundraising@theislandyork.org
All we want is for our child to be happy, and my son always comes back from sessions with his mentor happier.
As his mum, I worried he would never trust adults, I worried as he got older and entered the workplace he would really struggle. Mentoring has reduced my worry - I can see he will be ok.
