Fundraising events in Yorkshire

Jennyruth Workshops organise a variety of fundraising events in Yorkshire throughout the year and we would love to see you there. Our past events have been lots of fun and enjoyed by all. What's more, as we are not yet self supporting we still need to raise funds so we really appreciate you coming along. We are also very thankful for any prizes you can donate for our events.

Fundraising Team

We have now formed a small fundraising committee. We meet with monthly intervals. If there are other people who would like to join us we would be delighted to welcome you. Just telephone or email the workshops beforehand to let us know that you are coming. No qualifications needed but if you have some experience to share that would be great...we are all amateurs!

Do you have a suggestion for a new fund raising event?

  • Are you involved in a company that want to help a good cause?
  • Perhaps you are organising an event but want a charity to benefit?
  • Or maybe you have some great raffle prizes you want to donate?

Jennyruth are always open to suggestions and donations. Contact us online or call us on 01765 606620 to find out more or to book tickets.

The Jennyruth Quiz!

Twice a year Beth and Brenda are developing our popular quizzes which go to sale at various supermarkets. (see dates above) Our quizzes are good so don't miss out. You can also get one by sending £1 and a stamped addressed envelope. Details here

Perhaps you want to visit a craft fair or sale we are holding? Have a look at Buy our goods near you for more details.

We do appreciate donations:

As we have to raise quite a lot every year in order to keep Jennyruth Workshops going we appreciate every donation. You can either send us a cheque, give us a donation in person or set up a monthly direct debit. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any questions on how to do that. We have a form for direct debit donations. We are very grateful for your support!
