Representatives from the Snappy Trust, a small charity, based in York, dedicated to maximising the personal development of children and young people with wide ranging disabilities also received £2500. 

Long-standing stalwarts of the Carol Concert, York Hospital Radio received £1000 towards their funds as they now approach their 60th anniversary.
