Support YADA

As a Community Interest Company, contributions make a significant difference in our aim to change the relationship with alcohol. They enable the continuation of the services we provide and fund necessary training, research and developments to make a better YADA experience for everyone.

All donations will go back into YADA’s communities, whether it be a new project or improving an existing one.

Thank you for choosing to support YADA!

There are so many ways for you to support us and join us on our mission. One of those ways is to donate financially to the work we are doing. YADA is a community interest company, which means we value people over profit and have a social drive behind everything we do. Our aim is to build more than a bar, we want to be a place that brings communities together, that breaks down boundaries and lifts up people. We want to build THE MOST ETHICAL-COMMUNITY FOCUSSED BAR TO EVER EXIST ON THIS PLANET!

Fund it! 

We want to be running projects that directly affect the local community, this could be a stand-alone project or a partnership with other charitable organisations. We have already forged some impactful relationships and can’t wait to show you what we get up to. (Please do sign up for our newsletter to stay in the know)  

Some examples of where your funding will support – 

• Supporting others who want to change their drinking habits
• Providing discounted venue hire to charitable organisations and community groups
• We seek to raise awareness and break the stigma by hosting real-life stories/ conversations that matter.
• Educate on the benefits of low and no-alcohol options, challenge people’s relationship with alcohol and provide a social space for those who are sober and sober curious. 
• Pay those who give their time to contribute to our blogs and other media, as well as those who perform/showcase art at our venues. (Take a look at our Sunday Night Live events for more about these incredible artists) 

Resource it!

Some call it boring, but others know how vital the back office logistical stuff is. 

Some examples of what we will be able to resource when you donate include;

• Laptops and other equipment
• Operationally vital Subscriptions/ services (Finance and marketing software, as well as health and safety processes) 
• DBS checks
• Marketing and Website Development
• Staff awareness training (BSL, Mental Health Awareness)

The Future!

• Seeking out new venues, working with community leaders in towns and cities across the UK to best place the next YADA bars. 
• More events that prove alcohol-free experiences aren’t enjoyment-free
• More community celebrating spaces in our venues
• Fund research opportunities to help empower others. 
• More of all of the above… 

We know our journey to achieving our mission won’t be simple; if it was, it would have been the way bars were run from the get-go. This isn’t going to look like a glamorous overnight success story either. But with your incredible donations, we know we can reach our goals and impact huge numbers of people for the better (maybe even save lives)! If our bars, community safe spaces, or online content has helped you in your journey, made you smile or you just like what we do, then please consider making a donation.
