Sean's Battle To Save Whitby Childrens' Charity

A Whitby man is aiming to raise £30,000 for a charity in the town that supports local children and young people with disabilities and additional needs.

For 26 years, InterActive Whitby and District has offered weekend and holiday activities, as well as an inclusive pre-school play session.

However, due to reduced funding and rising costs, without raising £30,000, InterActive Whitby will close its doors in 2025.

Sean Kirk, whose family has used the charity's services, has set up a GoFundMe page to try to raise the £30,000 needed:

You can donate via Sean's GoFund Me page.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
