Thank You!
The Scarecrows had a fantastic weekend making so many new scarecrow friends and waving at everyone going by!
And thank you for coming along to explore the trails and join in the fun! You’ve helped us raise a magnificent £5,632 — this will be split equally between our four great charities and good causes.

With your help, in 2023 we raised
£5,632
for our charities!
Our Charities and Good Causes for 2023
In 2023 we’ll be using the money we’ve raised to support:
York Rescue Boat — York Rescue Boat is an independent lifeboat and search and rescue team based in York. They carry out combined patrols by boat and on foot at high-risk times every weekend throughout the year.
Martin House Children’s Hospice — Martin House provides family led care for children with life-shortening conditions.
It’s a place where children, young people and their families can stay from time to time along their journey and find support, rest and practical help.
Refugee Action York (RAY) — RAY works with refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in and around the City of York — a safe meeting point where people can get information & support, learn new skills & languages and form lasting friendships, so rebuilding their lives.
Earthquake Relief Appeal — A catastrophic earthquake struck southern Turkey and northwestern Syria and claimed over 25,000 lives.
This appeal is organised by All We Can and the Methodist Church in Britain to provide aid and relief to those in need.
