Why should you join The Island’s Business Hub?

There are all sorts of ways that you can help make a difference to our fundraising efforts at The Island. One of our most popular ways is for you and your business to join our Business Hub.
What is The Business Hub?
Want to know more? Of course you do!
The Business Hub was set up to help generate funds for our one-to-one mentoring programme which supports York children and young people struggling with their mental, emotional and/or social wellbeing. Since our referral process reopened in late March, we have seen a sharp increase in children and young people being referred, mainly due to the impact that the pandemic has had on their overall health and wellbeing. By signing your business up to The Island Business Hub, you'll be able to support local children and young people whilst at the same time being able to access several benefits for your business.
