Help us to fund a reprint of 'Five Rowntree Walks'?

Our purpose is simple - to tell the story of the Rowntree family, their business, their passion for reform, and their legacy.

Why the community needs us

You probably know how important the Rowntree name is for York and beyond. If not you can find out lots on our website www.rowntreesociety.org.uk. Our role is to act as an information point and authority on all things Rowntree. Through activities and projects in the community we are always developing new ways of telling this fascinating story to ensure that the rich Rowntree legacy in the history of confectionery and philanthropy is kept alive for future generations to pass on to their children.

Our impact on the community

Our book of Walks 'From Chocolate Comes Change' was launched in January 2017 and of its initial print run stocks are already running very low. It includes illustrated self-guided walks in the city centre, Clifton, parks and Quaker burial grounds further afield, as well as a guide to the factory site at Haxby Road and garden village of New Earswick. Can you help with the reprint costs?
