Wrose Adventurers is an association set up for young people aged between 11 and 25, with Asperger’s syndrome or high functioning autism. We are a small and friendly group, based at Highcroft Youth Centre in Wrose, Shipley. Our members come from all over the Bradford District, to have fun, play games and socialise. We meet on Wednesday evenings 7-9pm when members can socialise in a safe setting and join in activities such as pool, arts & crafts, board games or just chill and listen to music and use laptops. We also organise occasional trips to bowling, laserzone and to eat out at local restaurants. Our group exists to relieve stress and advance the education, social and mental wellbeing of young adults with autism (and related conditions) and their families and carers. Our informal social skills club is supported by experienced staff and a dedicated group of volunteers. We are managed by a parent-carer committee, and rely on small voluntary sector grants to keep running. We have a member subscription which is currently £3 per session, which members pay on the night. Wrose Adventurers welcomes new members, and is always happy to hear from new volunteers to work with the group. Our ethos is to provide a relaxed, safe and happy atmosphere to enable our members to enjoy themselves, and feel at home.

Yorkshire CND campaigns on nuclear weapons, nuclear power and peace issues. We are currently campaigning against the renewal of <a href="http://www.yorkshirecnd.org.uk/campaigns/nuclear-weapons/scrap-trident/"..., Britain's nuclear weapons system which will cost over �100 billion to implement. Locally we are also active in research and awareness raising of the role of local bases such as <a href="http://www.yorkshirecnd.org.uk/campaigns/menwith-hill/">Menwith Hill</a> and <a href="http://www.yorkshirecnd.org.uk/campaigns/fylingdales/">Fylingdales&lt... in "<a href="http://www.yorkshirecnd.org.uk/campaigns/missile-defence/">US Missile Defence</a>" and how they perpetuate nuclear proliferation and conflict globally. We campaign using a variety of strategies including informing and educating, research, lobbying, media work, direct action and demonstrating. A variety of campaign materials are available from Yorkshire CND and further information on our current campaigns is available from our website. Our network of committed activists and volunteers play a vital role in our campaigning work and we welcome new members or volunteers.

Yorkshire Cat Rescue is registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales and is registered charity number 1160138 (formerly 1058218).

The charity exists to save the lives of abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in Yorkshire and parts of Lancashire. It offers a rehoming service for such cats and accommodates them at its purpose-built centre near Keighley.

All the cats in our care are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical and behavioural treatment required before rehoming. We have a no-kill policy (unless recommended by vets due to quality of life). This means that we sometimes get chronically ill cats (or kittens) that can still lead a very good life (pretty much equal to any healthy cat) but have to have long-term medication and/or treatment. Any cat in our care will be cared for until we find him or her a home.

Yorkshire Cat Rescue was previously known as Haworth Cat Rescue. It has a rehoming centre based at Cross Roads between Keighley and Haworth, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.

The charity’s aims are to relieve the suffering of cats who are in need of care and attention and, in particular, to provide or maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception and care of such unwanted animals and their treatment.

The YCA is a friendly social group of ladies who meet the second Tuesday in the month at 7.30pm to 11pm at Eldwick Memorial Hall, nr Bingley.
We have regular speakers, film showings, craft competitions and a party and outing once a year. Every Christmas we meet up with other Yorkshire Country Women's associations in York for a carol service.
It was formed in 1983 to further interests of Country Women throughout the whole of the original (pre-1974) geographical county of Yorkshire. It is run by members for members, is non-sectarian and non-party political.
