For Roses 2023, we are continuing what we started last year by raising money for charity by all giving each other some really quite dodgy haircuts to sport over the Roses weekend. A few examples of last year's trims can be found in the gallery.

We are partnering with Survive to fundraise and raise awareness on sexual violence. Survive supports survivors of sexual trauma as they begin to rebuild their lives, through providing services such as counselling, trauma therapy, support work and a helpline.

The charity was chosen by the York Sport Union Committee, to tie into the overarching theme of Roses 2023, which is to 'Shine a Light' on sexual violence in sport, and how everyone can play a role in stopping it.
