Today I attended the York Volunteer Fair at the Priory Street Centre with one of our wonderful volunteers, Mary.

MoveMates is a small but mighty charity tackling social isolation by helping people get moving. For many of our beneficiaries, a MoveMate is the only human contact they have all week.

We currently support 105 active pairings and have a waiting list. If you’re in York and can spare a couple of hours a week, we’d love to hear from you: https://movemates.org.uk/volunteer-application/

We walked all the way to the Lake today and sat and watched the swans before heading for coffee at the cafe.

Walked to see ‘G’ as a lovely warm sunny day. After a bit of persuasion ‘G’ came out for a short walk with his stroller. Only a few hundred metres and then back as his knee was hurting. He is due another 6 weekly injection tomorrow so should be stronger next week. There is a meeting on Thursday for the residents to review how the heat pump installation has gone. ‘G’ will have a lot to say as his is still not right. He is going to keep calm!

This evening we followed the sounds of music which led us to Castle Museum where we discovered a light show was taking place, a wonderful surprise! We supped our hot coffee whilst revelling in the experience with the rest of the crowd. Afterwards we took a brisk walk along the riverside under a clear, starlit sky to warm ourselves up. We chatted about the beauty of dusk, spotted shapes in the silhouettes of the trees and, inspired by light show, imagined all the people through York's history who may have walked along the same banks.
A magical evening!
