From a transport survey in 1976 to helping thousands of people get from A to B across Selby and beyond.

As we celebrate 50 years of Up for Yorkshire, we're looking back at the beginnings of our Community Transport service.

As our Community Transport Coordinator Alison says, without our amazing volunteers, the service simply wouldn't exist.

A huge thank you to everyone who has played a part in keeping our communities connected over the years.

If you'd like to volunteer as a driver, we always need more! Find out more here: https://upforyorkshire.org.uk/whatwedo/community-transport/

Unfortunately, our Community Fridge at Community House in Selby will be temporarily closed following an accident involving the vehicle we use to stock it.

Everyone involved in the accident will be ok and is recovering at home but without a vehicle to collect food donations, we're currently unable to operate our usual Wednesday afternoon Community Fridge sessions.

We know how much people value this service and we're really sorry for any inconvenience the temporary closure may cause.

We'll keep you updated and let you know as soon as we have more information.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Please do share this with anyone you know who uses the fridge.

Have you got a pile of old CDs or DVDs gathering dust at home? They could help raise money for local good causes!

Our Every Disc Makes a Difference campaign has been featured on BBC News, highlighting how we're turning unwanted discs into funds while keeping plastic waste out of landfill and incineration.
Read the full BBC story here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g70kzpew9o

Then have a rummage through your cupboards and drop off your unwanted CDs, DVDs or Blu-rays at one of our collection points in Selby town centre. The one pictured is right here at Community House (opposite Morrisons), but there's collection points all over the place.

Let's see how many we can collect!
