Bettys and Taylors Family Fund
The Bettys and Taylors family heritage is very much rooted in food and hospitality. Frederick, our founder, CHECK THIS had a difficult start to his life. Despite this, he was able to gain skills and experience which changed his life and his fortune. His early experiences and his legacy are central to where Bettys and Taylors are now. With food key to our business, we want to support food-based projects in Yorkshire.
We aim to support groups working to improve the lives of young people through preparation for entry into food and hospitality careers. We are open to applicants who are within fifteen miles of a Bettys Tea Room. The young people you support should be experience disadvantage, either because of where they live, or for another reason.
