Spring Is Finally Showing Up…

… (and So Are My Chickens) You know that moment when you step outside and think, hang on something’s different today? That’s exactly how spring arrived this year on exactly the 1st March. I want to say not with a grand announcement, just a gentle shift, but where I am it was a sudden shift...

Looking Back on the Last Two Months

March 2026: A Winter of Change and Connection The start of a new year always brings a different pace for our teams at Ryedale Carers Support, and Caring Together Whitby and District.

Tell a friend...

As we get more referrals, and volunteers move on, we have a growing waiting list of people wanting company and support. We always welcome new volunteers and run different events across the area to attract new people.

Every few months in Whitby, Malton, Pickering and Kirkbymoorside we hold a lively and informal volunteer hub where people can chat to one another, ask questions of the team and other volunteers, and look to attract new volunteers through word of mouth. These are held in local cafes; who doesn’t like a cuppa and a chat?

Ring for more details; 07455706501. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested; thank you.
