Yorventure

Providing landfill tax funding for local projects.

Case Studies

Yorventure has invested almost £7 million in more than 250 projects in York and North Yorkshire and now supports projects in Northern Bradford through tax credits received by Bradford Metropolitan District Council generated by the Yorwaste landfill site at Skipton.

Since Yorventure was first established in 1997, grants have been distributed to a variety of different community and environmental projects; here are just a few examples:

Community Project

In October 2003 the organisation Skate Aid was awarded a Yorventure grant of £10,630 towards a new skate park in Hunmanby, located within 10 miles of the Yorwaste landfill site at Seamer Carr.
