About Friends of YAT
The Friends of York Archaeological Trust, established in 1975, is a volunteer-driven organisation supporting the charitable work of York Archaeological Trust (YAT), one of the leading archaeological charities in Britain.
By becoming a Friend of York Archaeological Trust you will be supporting YAT’s continued commitment to publicly accessible archaeology as it continues to “Build Better Lives Through Heritage” via its offices in four UK cities, and five attractions in York. Your commitment and participation with the Friends will support YAT’s core value of making a difference to people’s lives through open access to the past. You will also be gaining access to a wealth of professional archaeological knowledge and free entry to YAT’s award winning attractions in York – JORVIK Viking Centre, Barley Hall, DIG, The City Walls Experience at Mickelgate Bar.
Your subscription to the Friends will support an annual donation to YAT to help further its role as one of the leading archaeology education and public engagement charities in Britain. We hope you will take great pride in knowing that through your support you will be directly contributing to the ongoing work of YAT, an organisation that has been educating and empowering people through archaeology and heritage for 50 years.
