Giant jigsaw challenge

YHEC is celebrating 40 years in 2026. Some YHEC staff love to relax and socialise by completing puzzles - there's often a jigsaw out on a lunchtime. To celebrate 40 years we are going to attempt to complete a giant jigsaw with over 40,000 pieces!

You can support us by:

• Keeping an eye out for progress updates
• Taking part in completing the jigsaw as staff, family or friends
• Provide moral or practical support
• Donate at the link - watch out for specific challenges and competitions to also get involved in!

Match-funding

This will including activities like quizzes, competitions, sweepstakes, fitness challenges and more. Furthermore, as a company, YHEC will match-fund up to £5,000 fundraised throughout 2026 - so for every £1 raised by YHEC staff, the company will give a further £1! Please support this cause by making a donation today.

Move the Masses

• Move the Masses (link here:Move the Massess website) is a local charity offering an invaluable service in York, Leeds, Selby, Durham and Pocklington. It was established in 2018 to make walking a reality for the vulnerable in local communities. The charity supports over 300 people to enjoy a walk through a valuable community of over 200 Volunteer Move Mates; volunteers who were royally recognised in last year’s King’s Award for Voluntary Service.
• Move Mates is a walking buddy project through Move the Masses which makes getting out for a walk a reality for people who would otherwise find it difficult to leave their homes. The volunteers give people the confidence and moral support to leave their homes and go for a walk, improving their physical and mental health outcomes, reducing isolation and ultimately making people feel happier.
