Donations
At Peasholme Charity, we empower people in York who are facing hardship — whether that’s poverty, the risk of homelessness, or social exclusion. Since 1988, we’ve provided guidance, support, and the tools to help people take control of their lives.
Your donation helps make this possible. With your support, we can continue to walk alongside individuals in times of uncertainty, offering respectful, practical, and empowering support.
Where Your Donation Goes
Every donation we receive is used to support individuals and families in York through our two core projects:
Offers one-on-one financial coaching — helping people build budgeting skills, understand their financial options, and identify benefits they may be entitled to.
Provides advice and support at foodbank sessions — from accessing emergency help to navigating complex systems like benefits, housing, or health services.
Your donation also helps fund the core foundations that keep our services running:
- Administration and governance
- Volunteer recruitment and training
- Fundraising and community engagement
- Outreach, marketing, and information materials
- Maintaining secure systems and infrastructure
These essential costs ensure our services are professional, safe, consistent — and always available to those who need them
