S2S Group’s Continued Support to YWCA Yorkshire Charity
Table of Contents
At the onset of each year, S2S Group selects three primary charitable organisations for year-round support. S2S Group’s Charity Contributions to YWCA Yorkshire commenced in 2022 with the internal winter foodbank donation campaign and has continued to be one of S2S Group’s primary charities in 2023. With this comes the responsibility of what we can do as an organisation to give back to our community. Over the past years, S2S Group has dedicated bake sales, steps challenges, food and clothing donations, Christmas present drop-offs and much more to support their chosen charities.
S2S Groups Operations Director Rachel Hall and Marketing Assistant Ruby Parker recently visited YWCA Yorkshire’s Green Gables site to donate 6 baby gyms to go to the families. Baby gyms are not just toys; they are tools that promote early childhood development, motor skills, and cognitive growth. By providing these gyms to YWCA Yorkshire, we hope to make a difference in the lives of young children and their families, fostering a brighter future for our community. YWCA has already provided feedback that the baby gyms have already gone to 4 families.
About YWCA
YWCA has been providing services to women, children and families locally since the 1940s. From their first women’s hostel in Sheffield, to now owning 10 properties and managing 44 supported properties throughout South Yorkshire, including in Doncaster & Mexborough, Rotherham andSheffield.
YWCA Yorkshire has developed a number of specialist programmes to assist young women, children and families to address some of the key barriers to living happy, fulfilled and independent lives. We also believe in giving back to the local community, and where possible, will accept external referrals onto some of our programmes where we have the space.
Previous Support
In late 2022, S2S Group launched a 3-month internal foodbank campaign. This campaign ran throughout the months of October, November, and December. S2S Group’s employees contributed food, clothing, and money to help us to donate as much as we can to our chosen charities, in which, YWCA was one of those charities. Whilst visiting YWCA Yorkshire to donate the food and clothing we learned that some families do not receive Christmas presents. Therefore, knowing this information we knew we needed to do more.
S2S Group then collected Christmas presents to donate to YWCA to make sure everyone had something to open on Christmas day. In total S2S Group donated 8 bags of presents for the 8 Women on site. These bags included a box of fox’s biscuits, a box of chocolates, a notepad, a candle, and two self-care kits. The feedback received was wonderful and we look forward to continuing to support YWCA!
