When you eat, you don’t eat alone.
Our Mission.
We believe food is care, and care is meant to be shared. Yaki Ya! Foundation supports children in the UK and beyond with nourishing meals, education, essential medical care, and crisis relief — delivered through trusted UK-registered charities.
Every time you sit down for bold Japanese flavours at Yaki Ya!, you’re helping us extend that comfort to a child who needs it most.
THIS IS THE IMPACT WE'RE MAKING.
You didn’t donate. You just ate. And that was enough.
One meal at your table can help put a meal on another table somewhere else – for a child who needs it far more than we do. Through the Yaki Ya! Foundation, we set aside a portion of our profits to support children in need. Your loyalty is what makes that possible. Here’s what we’ve achieved together so far.

EVERY MEAL
Makes a difference. Every visit helps us extend care, inclusion, and hope to those who need it most.
A Table That Kept Giving.
Two Hearts. Two Children.
Two children were born with life-threatening heart conditions. Through the Yaki Ya! Foundation—made possible by every meal shared with us—they received the surgery they urgently needed.
Today, they are healthy, thriving, and looking toward the future. Every visit to Yaki Ya! helps make stories like these possible, and we’re honoured to share that journey with you.
Your Meals Made It Possible.
700+ FAMILIES SUPPORTED.
Across different occasions and communities, the Yaki Ya! Foundation has helped feed over 700 families. These are not numbers on a report. These are people who sat down to a warm meal because you sat down to one too.
Japanese Soul. For All. That is what it actually means.
HOW IT WORKS.
FROM US
A portion of every meal goes directly to the Foundation. When you order — dine in, collect, or delivery — you are quietly funding something real. This is not a rounding-up scheme. It is not a charity box by the till. It is built into how we run.
FROM YOU
Want to go further? Round up at checkout. Donate directly. Join a fundraiser. Every action becomes part of a larger story — one that already includes two children with healthy hearts and over 700 families with a warm meal.
TO COMMUNITIES
We channel support via UK-registered charities for transparent, effective impact — from hot meals to education, essential medical care, and crisis relief.
Why It Matters.
When you enjoy bold Japanese food with us, you’re also helping a child enjoy a meal, receive care, and find hope. Together, we can turn everyday meals into extraordinary acts of kindness.
One bowl at your table can help create another bowl somewhere else — for a child who needs it far more than we do.
When you eat, you don’t eat alone.
THE HEART BEHIND YAKI YA! FOUNDATION
Our Promise.
Every donation is handled with care and accountability. We prioritise transparency, safeguarding, and due diligence so help reaches where it’s needed most.
We work only with trusted UK-registered charities and partners, regularly reviewing how funds are used to maximise real-world impact for children.
This Is Your Impact. Not Ours.
We built the table. You filled it. And because you kept coming back — with your friends, your families, your colleagues, your communities — children have been healed and families have been fed.
We simply prepare the food. You make the difference. Thank you for being part of the Yaki Ya! story. If our purpose inspires you, why not help bring Yaki Ya! to more communities by becoming part of our franchise journey?
“When you eat, you don’t eat alone.”
The Yaki Ya! Foundation is a community initiative operated by Yaki Ya! Ltd. All funds are distributed through trusted UK-registered charities and verified partners. We publish our impact openly — because every person who eats with us deserves to know what their meal made possible.
