A local charity has scooped a £250 donation from YUSU-owned Your Shop thanks to a new token scheme.
Launched last term, independent mental health service charity, York Mind, beat off competition from the Railway Children and Cardiac Risk in the Young in the RAG-chosen charity race.
Students were able to select one of the three charity boxes to place a token in when they purchased the store’s £3.29 Meal Deal.
Winning charity York Mind helps individuals to recover from a range of mental health conditions and helps them to achieve goals that will aid them towards recovery, social inclusion
and integration.
This term’s charities have been chosen by the University’s colleges, with students able to back Langwith’s Hope for Children, Halifax’s Macmillan Cancer Support and Alcuin’s Great Ormond Street Hospital.
