Charity

Local charities and organisations which we support

A number of local and regional charities are supported by Galtres Festival, each receiving a share of the profits - assuming of course we do manage to make some money! It's not easy these days but we do our very best! 

Before the Festival we decide on how half of the proceeds from the Festival will be donated, and it is intended that the four charities profiled below will receive a higher level of funding from us this year. We're continuing to support St Monica’s Hospital and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, but also we're hoping to be able to support the exciting Arts Barge Project in York. After the Festival we'll be meeting to choose how to divvy up the rest of the money - we’re inviting applications from local charities and organisations for a share of the other half - if you know of any deserving causes please read our policy and submit an application.
