We would like to say a massive Thank You to the local community and Tesco Ripon - on Tuesday we collected the generous donations to the Donation Station near the exit of the store.

This all goes towards supporting our Food Bank at Ripon Community House.

None of us should have to face life alone.

Community gives us people to turn to, places where we feel welcome and the reassurance that support is nearby when we need it.

At Ripon Community House, everyone has a place.

Community can mean something different to everyone.

It might be a familiar face, a neighbour who checks in or a place where you always feel welcome. Sometimes, it is simply knowing that support is there when you need it.

We would love to hear from you. What does community mean to you?

Share your answer in the comments 💙

Could you spare a few hours to support your local community?

Volunteers play an important part in everything we do at Ripon Community House. Whether you enjoy welcoming visitors, helping with activities, supporting community events or lending a hand behind the scenes, your time could make a real difference.

Volunteering is also a lovely way to meet new people, build confidence and feel more connected to your community.

Interested in getting involved? Please contact the team to find out more about the volunteering opportunities currently available.

Plus, all your usual Play Club favourites:
🏃‍♀️ Active play and movement toys
🌈 Quiet sensory room for calm moments
🧸 Lots of opportunities for imaginative play

Play Club is a welcoming space for children with SEND and their siblings, with plenty of opportunities for children to play and explore at their own pace.
