As a company we pride ourselves on giving back to our local community; this is something that is important across our whole team and we take great passion in doing it.

Chocolate and Co is a charity based in York with an amazing ethos and set of values and we feel privileged to be able to support them as our Charity of the Year 2026.

We will be hosting a range of events this year that our team are looking forward to taking part in, as well as doing pledges and donations throughout the year.

What does Choc and Co do??

We are a charity whom aim to break down the barriers to employment for those marginalised and living on the fringes of society and impacted by stigma from addiction, homelessness or as part of the criminal justice system.

We advocate for the disadvantaged and the deserving; holding the hand of those less fortunate and feeding the hearts of whoever walks through our door. We are a safe place!

All funds will go to a range of areas in the work they do, from direct support and opportunities for their beneficiaries, to Pay it Forward regimes to allow a hot drink or a meal for someone to enjoy in their beautiful cafe, without question or judgement, when they can't afford to pay.

Every donation really is life changing! We know that can be cliche, but each penny raised goes directly towards supporting somebody vulnerable in our local community and for that we are thank full for every bit of support we receive.

Woodstone 1 will share all of their events on social media as well as updating this space to give you more information.

Thank you for helping us to help Charities in the City of York. Your amazing!
