Bonfire Night,

8th November

Sparler on a dark evening

A traditional evening with friends around a fire.

There will be BBQ sausages to purchase or bring your own food if you prefer, plus a drink for yourselves.

We will be lighting the bonfire at around 6 complete with a Guy — if anyone would like to make a Guy please do, the more the merrier.

A child friendly evening with no fireworks.

8th November, 5.30 – 7.30pm, Park Field

North Yorkshire Citizens Advice & Law Centre (NYCALC)

During the long hot summer, NYCALC has been earnestly preparing for what will be our busiest time of year, autumn and winter.

As you will be well aware, everyday living remains expensive with food prices rising and energy bills unpredictable, sadly resulting in hardship for many. Over the last year debt has become an increasingly common problem, with an 18% increase in NYCALC’s cases. We are proud that we have been able to help people tackle this distressing issue constructively and enable £3,288,934 of debt to be written off across the county.

The We Care scheme looks to provide a sense of safety and independence for those who may be more vulnerable and enables the police to provide them with a better level of service.
