Fundraise

Our Centre is run by passionate volunteers and local people who believe in the power of community and recognise the importance of having a central hub for everyone in and around Leyburn.

As a registered charity, we rely on fundraising and donations to keep our facilities running and to deliver inspiring events and projects that bring people together.

With your support, we can continue hosting live performances, creative workshops, and community events.

We regularly host special events to raise funds for exciting new projects, from table-top sales and plant fayres to car boot days and more.

Your support has already helped fund:

  • Our Community Shed construction
  • A brand-new dance floor in our studio space

Keep an eye on our events page for upcoming dates —it’s a great way to get involved and support your local community.

We usually host one Grand Draw each year, with extra special prizes including:

  • Handmade goods
  • Local treats
  • And (in our festive hamper) a bottle or two of something festive!

Could you:

  • Donate a prize?
  • Help sell tickets to friends and family?
  • Buy a ticket yourself?

Get in touch if you'd like to support our next Grand Draw—and stay tuned for details of this year’s Christmas Hamper Raffle.

Our honesty-based Little Shop is a lovely way to support the Centre.

You'll find:

  • Books (including local guides)
  • Jigsaws and puzzles
  • Homemade jams & marmalades
  • Greetings cards and craft items

Suggested donation prices are marked, and all proceeds go directly towards supporting our ongoing work in the community.

If you’d like to make a one-off or regular donation, our JustGiving page is a simple and secure way to support us online.
