Yorkshire Charities Group

St Anne’s Community Services is a major voluntary sector provider of social care and supported housing in Yorkshire and the North East. Founded in 1971, the organisation now provides a wide range of quality services across the region for people who:

• are homeless and vulnerably housed
• have a learning disability
• have mental health problems and
• have problems relating to alcohol and substance misuse.

Some people we work with require support in relation to more than one of these areas and having a range of service provision enables us to be flexible in our response.

Both Wheatfields and St Gemma’s Hospice were founded in 1978, from which time their common mission has been to provide physical, emotional, social and spiritual comfort to patients and families facing a life threatening illness - often, though not always, cancer. Between them the Hospices provide in-patient, community and day care, practical advice for patients, support and later bereavement counselling for their families, and training for healthcare professionals in specialist palliative care. These services cost £7 million each year, the majority of which has to be raised through voluntary contributions.

Epilepsy Action was established in 1950 to improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy, their families and carers, to educate people about epilepsy, to change attitudes towards the condition and to provide funds for health and social research. We achieve the above through our Freephone Helpline 0808 800 5050, our award winning website www.epilepsy.org.uk, our Accredited Volunteer Programme and placement of Sapphire Nurses (epilepsy specialist nurses).
