Spot On Thank You Letter

Thank you letter from Spot On regarding Harrogate Community Services help with Disability Action Yorkshire.

Castleberg Scout Group Settle

The Castleberg Scout Groups headquarters in the village of Settle had over a number of years fallen into a poor state of repair due to a long running dispute over the ownership of the building.

The Scouts had been able to raise funds to cover the cost of materials to improve the internal and external state of the crumbling building, but were struggling with the anticipated labour costs for some of the works such as painting, plastering and re-pointing internal walls.

Skipton based Community Punishment Supervisor John Brown responded to the call for help and has over the past few months through the efforts of many hours of work by offender work parties managed to transform the interior of the building to the point where it can now again be used by the Scout group.

Dene Park Community Centre Luncheon Club

The Probation Service has for a number of years provided a Sunday luncheon service to the elderly members of the Dene Park Community Centre in the Bilton area of Harrogate. This service has recently been extended to include a similar service each Tuesday.

The lunch consists of a three course meal, prepared, cooked and served by a team of offenders (with the assistance of a community service supervisor) to around 20-25 club members.

After the meal the offenders are expected to clear tales, wash dirty pots and ensure that the kitchen & dining areas are left in a clean and tidy condition ready for the next session.
