Can You Support the NYMR?

Here is Paul "Piglet" Middleton to explain more about their Winter Appeal.

Support for Carers

Without a dedicated team of volunteers Support For Carers would be unable to provide a much needed break to those who are supporting someone within their own home. Volunteers freely give their time, skills and experience to help support the many carers within the Scarborough district.

Support for Carers manager Shirley Lumb explains more:

As the number of carers continues to grow, volunteers are needed more now than ever. Click the link below to find out more or call 01723 364808.

Support for Families with Youngsters who have SEN, Disabilities and Impairments

Yorkshire Coast Familes

Our current main activities are running family events which allow our families to access fun activities as a group. These have included trips to East Barnby Outdoor Center, Energi Trampoline Park in York, Beach Chalet Days, Sewerby Hall at Bridlington and picnics at Dalby Forest. These trips allow our members to meet and support other families, share the stress of a day out with children and access activities they may otherwise avoid due to the potential for disaster that days out may have on families with children with SEND.
