Marking 100 years since the passing of Joseph Rowntree, learn more

Upcoming Events

To celebrate the centenary, we will be running various events throughout 2025, so watch this space! We are also inviting individuals, organisations, and communities to host events, share stories, or engage in activities that reflect Joseph Rowntree’s values and contributions. Whether it's a talk, workshop, community project, or exhibition, we’d love to hear how you plan to celebrate his legacy.

If you’re interested in organising an event or want to learn more about Joseph Rowntree’s life and work, we can provide information and support. We are also happy to advertise your events on our Joseph Rowntree Centenary website (this page!).
