York has a history dating back nearly 2000 years. First founded by the Romans, it was the capital of the North the Anglo Saxon, Viking, Norman, Medieval and Tudor ages, a period of some 1500 years.

Throughout this time and right up to modern times, poverty, charity and homelessness have been a big part of the city. This multimedia tour, which includes audio, video and images, takes you on a tour of some of the key sites that have had an impact in these areas.

The tour is brought to you by Good Organisation, which offers support to disadvantaged people in York to share in the economic benefits of tourism.
The tour content was created by a collective of people including those that have experiences homelessness.

The tour is completely free, but there is an opportunity to make a donation to our vital work within the app.
