Hi everyone,

We have some really great news!

After months of looking and searching we've finally found premises suitable to hold our Men's Shed, and we can start hosting sessions for our Shed very soon. The premises are in the red brick built building at the back of the New Life Church on Water Skellgate.

We are holding 2 open meetings at the premises on Water Skellgate on Tuesday 18th February at 2pm and again at 7pm - please come along to 1 of the meetings if you can. The meetings will give everyone a chance to see the premises and the space that will be our Shed, update you all on where we are, and the next step forwards. You'll also be invited to become a member of the Shed and we will start to put together a development group to lead the project to transform the premises into a great workshop for all to enjoy. Please invite along anyone else you feel may benefit from being a part of the Ripon Shed.

A huge “thank you” to #NewLifeChurchRipon for all their support and encouragement in getting us started.

Really exciting times for us all and we look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday - please let us know if you intend to attend, and if you can't make it we'll make sure you get an update from the meetings.

Refreshments will be provided as usual...🏚🛠 ... See more

Do you have a car, a driving licence and some spare time? Even just doing a few journeys a month as a volunteer car driver could make a big difference to local people who struggle to get out and about. ... See more

‘Giving time is such a rewarding way to try something new & could be the start of something rather special’

In 2019 our Harrogate Easier Living Project (HELP) volunteer drivers carried out 11,661 journeys helping people get to medical appointments & social activities & our volunteer befrienders visited 51 people unable to get out & about.

Often a real rapport develops between a volunteer and the person they are supporting, which can be so beneficial to both parties.
