Whitby Community Alliance and Community First Yorkshire are inviting local residents, organisations, and volunteers to contribute their thoughts on the future of volunteering in Whitby.
Following a successful ‘Vision for Volunteering’ session held in January, a dedicated online space has been created to continue the conversation and gather input from the community. Volunteers are the heart of Whitby, playing a crucial role in supporting local services, events, and community projects. Now, residents have the opportunity to help shape a vision for how volunteering can grow and thrive in the future.
A Padlet has been set up to capture ideas, reflections, and suggestions from anyone interested in strengthening volunteering in the town. Whether you’re an active volunteer, part of an organisation that benefits from volunteering, or simply have thoughts on how to make volunteering more accessible, your input is invaluable.
Rebecca Denniff of Whitby Community Alliance said:
“Volunteers play such an important role in our community, and this is a chance to ensure that volunteering in Whitby is sustainable, rewarding, and open to all. We want to hear from as many people as possible to build a vision that truly reflects our town’s needs and ambitions.”
