Impact of the 2024 Event

In 2024, ‘A Night Under the Stars’ raised an astounding £1 million, empowering Yorkshire Children’s Charity to deliver vital support throughout 2024 - 2025. The Winter Support Campaign provided children with essential items such as coats, shoes, bedding, and pyjamas. These simple necessities offered comfort, warmth, and dignity. As a result of the shoes and coats provided, 80% of the supported schools reported an increase in student attendance.

Beyond meeting urgent needs, funds brought moments of magic: festive gifts and unforgettable days out that gave the children of Yorkshire the joy and wonder every childhood should hold. Schools across Yorkshire have already felt the impact of your generosity. This is proof that one night of giving can ripple into years of positive change. 

About Yorkshire Children’s Charity

Founded on the 1st of January 2022, Yorkshire Children’s Charity exists to transform the lives of young people across our towns, cities, and countryside. Through targeted grant-giving, it meets the urgent needs of children facing sickness, disability, and poverty. Its long-term projects aim to break cycles of deprivation and open doors to opportunity.

In just three years, Yorkshire Children’s Charity has raised over £7 million and supported more than 50,000 children across 200 schools - a testament to what can be achieved when communities unite. With each event, each donation, and each act of kindness, Yorkshire Children’s Charity moves closer to a Yorkshire where every child can thrive.

Why your support matters

Childhood poverty in Yorkshire has reached a twenty-year high, with the region among the most affected in the country. Thousands of children are growing up without the basics many take for granted - warm clothing, comfortable bedding, or shoes that fit. Without intervention, the outlook is bleak.

Yorkshire Children’s Charity is determined to change this. Your support will provide essentials to keep children warm and ready to learn, joyful school trips that broaden horizons, and festive experiences that restore childhood wonder. Together, we can rewrite futures, replacing hardship with hope and creating brighter tomorrows for Yorkshire’s most vulnerable.
