Speaker meeting

Two Ridings Community Foundation is a regional, independent charity committed to improving the quality of people's lives and building stronger communities for future generations in North and East Yorkshire. 

The Foundation helps communities thrive by making grants and providing support to local community organisations and small local charities who understand the needs of the local people. We do this through the generous investment and donations made by individuals, businesses, charitable trusts and public sector bodies, the funds from which we invest in their local communities.
