The Entrepreneur Festival, the Leeds-based national business platform created to connect founders, investors, operators, and policymakers, has announced Yorkshire Children’s Charity as its official charity partner.
Driven by a shared mission to make a tangible difference to young lives across Yorkshire, the team has already rolled up their sleeves to give hands-on support to the charity’s vital Winter Support Campaign.
The seasonal initiative helps local families hit hardest by soaring household bills by delivering essential warm clothing, personal hygiene packs, and cosy bedding, with the ambitious goal of reaching more than 3,000 disadvantaged children right across the region.
Headquartered at Thorpe Park in Leeds, The Entrepreneur Festival is gearing up for its flagship national event at the Royal Armouries from 15th to 17th June 2027. Despite its UK-wide scope, organisers say staying deeply rooted in the local community remains at the heart of everything they do.
Keith Griffiths, founder and CEO of The Entrepreneur Festival, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Yorkshire Children’s Charity. Whilst The Entrepreneur Festival is a national platform bringing together business leaders from across the country, our roots are firmly in Yorkshire, therefore it is particularly important to us to support the organisations doing valuable work in the region.
“The partnership gives us the opportunity to introduce Yorkshire Children’s Charity to our wide audience, and we’re looking forward to bringing our community behind the partnership, starting with the Winter Support Campaign.”
Charlotte Farrington, founder and CEO of Yorkshire Children’s Charity, welcomed the backing, saying: “Yorkshire Children’s Charity is thrilled to be working with The Entrepreneur Festival, and to have them supporting our work. The support of businesses and their communities is an important part of what enables us to reach more children and young people across Yorkshire, from the city centre of Leeds all the way to the coast.”
Further updates on the partnership and festival programme will be shared across The Entrepreneur Festival website and LinkedIn channels.
