yellowfest 2014
The money raised during this event was donated to 2 really worthwhile causes.
The Elderly wards at York Hospital focusing on the patients who have dementia. We were hoping to redecorate patient’s rooms with design features such as panels behind each patient’s bed and on the doors to create themes, and amongst other items they are looking to purchase some large clocks which have been shown to improve orientation for patients (especially those with dementia). Its such a worthy cause and makes a massive difference to patients who have dementia and their families.
We also raised funds to refurbish 5 rooms on the labour ward at York Teaching Hospital. Achieving this allows us to provide even better facilities to our patients who give birth at York Hospital!
Thanks to all who turned up, it was a great fun day with some great food and of course the local beers celebrating the Tour de France in Yorkshire. You can still donate by text - TEXT YELL77 £1 to 70070 (or any amount you wish).

nspcc beer & music festival 2012
For the last two years our events have been in aid of global disasters, last year we focused at home. Being a father of 2 small boys I couldn't understand why 1 in 6 children in this country faced child abuse. On Friday 27th and Saturday 28th July the event was tucked away behind the Trembling Madness underneath the ruins of the Norman House, in the courtyard, Belfry Hall and the old gallery. There was an amazing selection of cask ales and kegs (including Kernel!) plus whisky and bourbon tasting sessions, stalls, food, live music and comedy (not to mention the barbequed York squirrels).

think, don't swim campaign 2012
A CALENDAR featuring naked York bartenders was launched in support of The Press’ Think Don’t Swim campaign. Profits from the sale of the calendar will help firefighters invest in new safety equipment alongside York’s rivers, to help prevent further drowning tragedies following three deaths in 2011.
One of the victims was 21-year-old bartender Richard Horrocks ("Tosh") , who died after jumping from a balcony into the Ouse on completing his last shift at a riverside bar. His death prompted The Press – with the support of Richard’s family – to launch its campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the dangers of falling or jumping in the water. Tosh had been really popular in York, having worked at Bobo Lobo and Revolution, and all the bartenders hung around together and were like one big family.

africa famine appeal 2011 & 2012
Our late appeal came when we were shocked by the worst drought in over 60 years. This appeal is ongoing and we will continue to raise awareness and money for the foreseeable future. The Africa appeal has been slightly overlooked by many as everybody is so used to being asked for money for Africa. But please this is not to be overlooked and we must act now and help those people who cannot even feed themselves and even make choices about which son or daughter to keep alive. Our donation page is HERE.

tsunami appeal april 2011
We had a fantastic fund raising sunny day in April soon after the disaster. It was a great response to a terrible disaster. The actual event details can still be found HERE . We managed to raise £7395 on the day. There were entertainers, bands, a beer festival, stalls and we will surely hope to do something similar for another cause very soon. A big thank you to everyone who helped that day and for making it special. Do remember to look back at the photos HERE .
our fund-raising
We are always ready and on standby to set aside time to raise money for global disasters. We raised over £6000 for the Haiti Earthquake in 2010 but we are a small local business and cannot help all local causes with raffle prizes and donations, so sorry if we've turned you down in the past. We're happy to get involved with any larger local fund-raising events in the future, please contact us via email. Thank you, Trembling Madness x
