North Yorkshire Connect
North Yorkshire Connect is our online directory for North Yorkshire, providing information about the diverse range of community groups, voluntary organisations and services across the county.
Visiting your local library
Staff or volunteers at your local library will be pleased to see you and you will be able to sit down and read a newspaper or book, use the computers, or find out what is happening in your area. They are good places for young people to do homework or revision too. Find out more in our local libraries section.
Warm Welcome Spaces
If you are looking for a Warm Welcome Space during winter or would like to register your venue as a Warm Welcome Space find out more on the Warm Welcome Space website.
If you are a local organisation looking to set up a Warm Welcome space, the UK Health Security Agency has published a toolkit on the government website.
