The desire and passion evoked by many to help the people of Ukraine is extremely heart-warming and to make the most of this, we are asking people to ensure that they carefully select an appropriate organisation to work with. Consider how best placed, experienced and validated they are to deliver an appropriate level of support safely so that your offering is maximised to the fullest potential to help those in need.
There are lots of ways to help during this extremely difficult and devastating time and many people have been in touch with us to ask how they can best get involved. We’re recommending that people contact Ripon City of Sanctuary who are putting lots of ongoing support in place behind the scenes (such as peer to peer support) and they have a vast amount of information and advice based on their long experience of dealing with helping refugees to settle.
Another excellent resource is a website produced and updated by Harrogate and District Community Action (HADCA) which provides relevant and up-to-date information about ways you can get involved: https://hadca.org.uk/news/supporting-ukraine

The past two years have highlighted the need to support people within our community that have been socially disconnected, experiencing social isolation and loneliness. We would like to offer a telephone befriending service to reduce these feelings, especially amongst older people. Volunteers are required to ring an older person to check on them and build a friendship. It’s a fun, safe and easy way to get to know someone new from the comfort of your own home. What impact would I have? It could be that you’re the only person they speak to that day, or even that week. If you are a chatty and empathetic person and could spare an hour a week to make a difference to someone’s day please get in touch and we can chat further. For further information please contact Sarah on 01765 680200 or email mco@visitmasham.com

Enjoy a night of jazz classics as we welcome The Earl Grey Saxes to town all the way from the Scottish borders. Ain’t Misbehavin, Fever, All That Jazz and more…they’ve performed for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and now they’re here in Masham!
The group is made up of 4/5 of the Borders Big Band Sax Section: Paul Cormie, Sam Lord, Simon McCann and Camille Castledine, along with multitasking support Cath Cormie on everything from violin to the kitchen sink. Earl Grey Saxes have been playing in the big band and in other groups together for years and that coupled with their love of ‘posh tea’ and homemade cake gave Paul the idea to form them into a group. It turned out to be the best idea ever…they get to drink tea, eat cake and enjoy playing a wide variety of music.
This event will raise money for local charity Mashamshire Community Office as well as Bone Cancer Research Trust.
Tickets available from Mashamshire Community Office: tel 01765 680200
