Starting on Wednesday 10th September 2025 the City of York Council (CYC) will be launching “tap to donate” on the city walls.
Inside Bootham Bar there will be 2 tap to donate points, and a website at https://www.york.gov.uk/form/YorkWallsDonate where donations can be made.
CYC are responsible for the care and maintenance of York’s City Walls. It costs over £500,000 annually to fund the maintenance of the City Walls, keeping them free and accessible for visitors and residents alike. This cost is solely borne by the City of York Council and, given the well-publicised financial situation all local authorities face, any donations received will go towards ensuring the walls remain open and free to access, as well as improving interpretation and signage.
The Friends of York Wall support this initiative to ensure that York’s City Walls remain free and accessible for all enjoy.
