‘M’ and I had a short walk to the end of her road and back, just enough for her to get some fresh air and a change of scene. She was still feeling fragile after her recent fall. Despite her failing eyesight, ‘M’ spotted a big, black bird, which started an interesting conversation about the difference between rooks, crows and ravens!

Some of our amazing volunteers laced up for a 20 mile walk along the Cleveland Way from Scarborough to Whitby on Sunday 31 May raising awareness and funds to keep York walking, talking, and connected.
Below are some of the photos they snapped along the way.
There’s still time to support them every donation helps someone feel less alone.

Managed a good 'dry'!!!! walk around the pond and Hobb Moor. Attached a couple of pictures from Hobb Moor with the cows in the distance.

We enjoyed another lovely walk today albeit a short one, as a fall earlier in the week had made ‘M’ a little cautious. We chatted about the previous few weeks, football and family. On getting back home, ‘M’ was immediately drawn to the yellow roses in bloom in her garden - she loves the colour it brings to her outdoor space.

We had a lovely walk in West Bank park today. It was warm so we took our time and sat in the shade a couple of times. Did some plant ID and then fell lucky as the little community cafe was open.
This is a great place for a beverage - profits go to the bowling club there. They also run Age UK drop ins with an advisor and the local ward councillor running their surgeries from there too.
We enjoyed our "nobbly bobbly" ice cream ( and yes jokes made!) but we decided the coating was more like pebble dashing :) mind your dentures Keith!

We walked a bit further today, which was nice. E was using two sticks, and managed the two sets of steps at the end of her road really well. We net a neighbour's very photogenic cat too!

🌈 It’s Volunteers’ Week! 💚

We’re celebrating the amazing people who give their time, energy, and heart to make our community shine. Whether it’s walking, chatting, cheering someone up, or simply sharing a cuppa ☕ — our volunteers prove that kindness is the best kind of strength.

They don’t always have the time (who does?), but they always have the heart — and that’s what makes them absolute legends. 💪💙

So here’s to every smile, every step, and every helping hand that keeps Move the Masses moving!
