Thank You to York’s Sweetest Supporter
On Monday 14 July, 20 of our members were treated to a free, private tour of the York Chocolate Story—and it was every bit as joyful, generous, and delicious as you’d imagine.
But this wasn’t the first time YCS have supported Kyra. Earlier this year, they donated beautiful chocolate treats for our International Women’s Day event. They’ve also hosted free chocolate-making masterclasses for our ROSE group, as well as for Kyra staff and volunteers—a rare chance for our community to get hands-on, creative, and a little bit sticky.

Moments like these might seem small from the outside. But for our members, they’re huge: a chance to try something new, to feel valued, to spend time with other women in a safe, fun, and welcoming space. We’re incredibly grateful for York Chocolate Story’s continued kindness and collaboration.
How Partnerships Help Kyra
Partnerships like these make Kyra stronger. They allow us to offer memorable experiences that sit alongside our core services like counselling, peer support groups, and wellbeing workshops. They also show how much local businesses can do to support community wellbeing.
Supporting a charity like Kyra doesn’t just change lives—it also helps businesses meet their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals in a way that’s genuine, local, and meaningful. Whether it’s through donating time, goods, space, or experiences, community partnerships can have a big impact on women’s lives here in York.
