North Yorkshire Council

Take a trip down memory lane with five bespoke 2025 calendars. Library staff and volunteers have sifted through their favourite archive images to create the calendars with well-known landmarks in areas around Harrogate, Ripon, Great Ayton, Skipton, Pickering and Malton. The photos, which date from the late 19th century to the 1970s, demonstrate how these places have changed over the years, and how elements remain the same. The calendars are on sale at the individual libraries, with all proceeds invested into maintaining the service. To read more visit https://lnkd.in/egPxRCge

A drive to combat crime and anti-social behaviour in rural areas is to be rolled out to another of North Yorkshire’s tourist hotspots. Project Spotlight was launched in Harrogate earlier this year to help make the town centre even safer, focusing on anti-social behaviour, street crime and retail theft. Following its success, the initiative was then adapted for The Falls and Batts area of Richmond with North Yorkshire Council working alongside the Richmondshire Community Safety Hub, North Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue. Now, attention is to be focused on the Osmotherley and Cod Beck area of the county, a popular area for visitors due to the nearby reservoir. Find out more, at https://lnkd.in/emY2dt_J

Care leavers have spoken of their gratitude for the love and support they have received in North Yorkshire as their own resilience, strength of character, and achievements have been honoured. A ceremony was held recently at the University of York to mark the personal growth and recognise the achievements of care leavers who are taking the next steps in their lives. The care leavers event, which is now in its sixth year, saw more than 50 young people joined by officers from our children and young people’s service and members of the county’s business community not only celebrate the care leavers’ success, but also speak about the barriers they face and share ideas and their experiences. Hannah Halliwell, now 22, who was under our care, is now working as a buying assistant having achieved a first-class degree from the Manchester Fashion Institute. She said: “I am where I am today because of the constant support I received from North Yorkshire Council and I’ll always be thankful of that.” Find out more at https://lnkd.in/eB4qvjEY
