Community Connectors
A Community Connector (CC) is someone local, clued-up about services and support available, and passionate about helping those in need. We are creating a network to support and celebrate CC’s.
We’d love to hear from anyone already doing this, or people who would be interested in becoming a CC.
Creating an inclusive and supported community for everyone.
Who are Community Connectors?
Community Connectors are people who live or work in a specific neighbourhood, know their community well, and are clued-up about services and support available to help those in need. They can be anyone, such as a resident, a local business owner (like a pub or shop owner), or a member of a village social group, who are willing to assist others when possible.
Who are we?
We are Up for Yorkshire, a local organisation that supports and fosters the growth of the voluntary and community sector in the Selby area, and across Yorkshire. Our goal is to create an inclusive and supported community for everyone. Community Connectors are crucial to us because they share information about local activities, enabling us to assist residents in their communities by letting them know about events and where to find help and advice. This doesn’t have to be a major time commitment; in fact, you might already be doing it!
How can we help?
Community Connectors play a vital Role in keeping communities informed about events and support. It’s not an extra time commitment – you might already be doing it! We keep Connectors updated through regular email updates on community services and activities. We also organise occasional gatherings for networking, expert talks, and sharing success stories.
Connectors have access to an online grant finder portal, and information on services like Community Transport, training, and Power of Attorney guidance.
Our Winter Community Connector Event will be on Tuesday 17th December, 12.30pm – 2.30pm.
