A business that gives back to the community 

We believe that, to be a truly excellent local business, we need to do more than just serve up great food. We're proud to be part of the Sherburn in Elmet community, and giving back is at the heart of everything we do here. From supporting the Wombles litter picking group to fundraising for local causes and helping elderly residents via the Sherburn Visiting Scheme, Fish Bank is committed to making a positive difference in our village and beyond. 

Feeding local volunteers 

Keeping Sherburn clean and beautiful is a community effort, and we're proud to support the Wombles litter picking group, a fantastic team of local volunteers dedicated to tackling litter across the village. Fish Bank not only participates in regular litter-picking sessions but also provides refreshments for hardworking volunteers who give up their time to keep our streets tidy. It's a small way we can show a little civic pride and say thank you to those who care so deeply about our local environment, and we love being part of this brilliant initiative. 

Fundraising that makes a difference 

Community fundraising is another way Fish Bank actively supports Sherburn and the surrounding areas. We donate profits from our paper bags to local neighbourhood organisations and initiatives, helping fund projects that benefit everyone in the village. Whether it's supporting youth clubs, community events, or local charities, every contribution counts, and we're proud that our customers' fish and chip suppers help make a real, lasting impact in the place we all call home.

Supporting our seniors 

One of the most meaningful ways Fish Bank gives back is through our partnership with the Sherburn Visiting Scheme, a wonderful organisation that supports elderly and isolated members of our community. The scheme connects volunteers with seniors who may be feeling lonely or in need of companionship, helping to combat social isolation and improve wellbeing. Fish Bank proudly hosts monthly fish and chip lunches for members of the scheme, providing a warm, welcoming space where friendships can flourish over a hearty meal. These lunches have become a cherished tradition, and we're honoured to play a part in bringing people together and supporting the long-term health and happiness of Sherburn's older residents.
