12″ Special Edition Tailor’s Shears – YWCA Yorkshire Raffle Exclusive | 1 of 1

We always look for opportunities to be associated with charities that help the community that we reside in. We have proudly been based in Sheffield since 1760 and have loved the opportunity to support Sheffield charities and events. That’s why we are working with YWCA Yorkshire.

Our CEO, Mark White is a proud former Trustee for the charity, working with them to provide services to women, children and families since the 1940s. They own 10 properties and manage 44 supported properties throughout South Yorkshire.

YWCA Yorkshire believe young women, children and families deserve the best opportunity to thrive.  Through a range of housing and trauma-informed services in South Yorkshire, England, the charity empowers young women to live independent, happy and fulfilled lives. The people supported by the charity may have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse, sexual exploitation and financial hardship. YWCA Yorkshire’s expert team provide safe spaces where women can grow in confidence and skills and build trusted relationships – so that families can go on to create a better future for themselves and their children.

Whiteley are hosting a raffle to give away a truly one-of-a-kind pair of special edition scissors!

We’re offering the chance to win a unique, never-to-be-repeated pair of 12″ Special Edition Tailor’s Shears created to support the incredible work of YWCA Yorkshire, a charity dedicated to creating better futures for women, children, and families across South Yorkshire.

This exclusive pair features handles colour-matched to YWCA Yorkshire’s iconic purple, a gold-plated bolt, and is finished with the Whiteley crest, stamped using a newly commissioned tool made by fellow Sheffield company, Pryor Marking Technology. As a nod to our shared heritage, the shears are also individually stamped “1 of 1” using a restored original Pryor hand-stamp set from our archives – a rare piece of scissor-making history.

The shears are presented in a bespoke wooden presentation box, laser-engraved with the YWCA Yorkshire logo, Whiteley crest, our master craftsman Andrew’s signature, and the YWCA Yorkshire mission:

“Creating better futures for women, children & families.”

The box is also marked “1 of 1”, and the shears will never be produced in this format again.

Entries to the raffle cost £10 each, with all proceeds going directly to support YWCA Yorkshire. Enter below to own a piece of Whiteley history and make a difference.
