Sponsorship funds great community initiatives
OUTKAST PANDA CREW CIC | Hull
Young people thriving through adversity
“One young person who found mainstream education a struggle has had his life turned around through the community car project. Because of his talent, he now has a successful motorsport apprenticeship and is directly involved in a racing team. Seeing young people grow in confidence and self-belief and going on to college and employment is what it is all about. Funding from Two Ridings has made this possible”.
Outkast Panda Crew CIC is a community organisation based in Hull that transforms lives through vehicle maintenance training.
TANG HALL COMMUNITY CENTRE | York
Bettys & Taylors give over £1million supporting community action all over the region
“Food is a great leveller for everyone, and food opens up other support that people need. Two Ridings fund our weekly community café ensuring our support continues to reach local people.”
Since 2018, Bettys & Taylors have given over £1 million through Two Ridings. This has made a huge impact on the many local communities of their customers, employees and fans of the Yorkshire brew. Tang Hall Community Centre, one of the groups benefiting from their fund, provide weekly warm meals for local residents, supporting thousands of people every year.
MOORLANDS COMMUNITY CHARITY | Goole
Getting money to where it is needed most
“We could not have supported so many local people during this time without grants from Two Ridings. Families were fed, and had the opportunity to mix with others in a warm and safe space.”
Moorlands Community Charity in Goole created more warm spaces, increased their foodbank activity and provided an additional 1,740 hot meals with funding they received during the cost of living crisis.
