Raising money for The Yorkshire Children’s Charity
At Rise Up Networking, we’re not just about growing businesses – we’re about giving back to our community. That’s why we’ve partnered with The Yorkshire Children’s Charity, an incredible organisation dedicated to improving the lives of children across Yorkshire. Their tireless work removes barriers and creates opportunities for children to thrive, and we’re proud to support their efforts.
To help raise funds for this amazing cause, we’ll be holding a raffle at each of our events, featuring fantastic prizes. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children in need across the region.
