Information Survey:

City of York Council is seeking your views and feedback about how you get the information and advice you need about services, care and support as well as what’s on in your community. It’s important that all residents can access this in the way they want to.

In the consultation, it will ask you to answer general questions about how you like to access information.

There is also an additional, optional section about the two community and wellbeing information websites: www.RaiseYork.co.uk (for families, children and young people) and www.LiveWellYork.co.uk (for adults).

To complete the survey please go to this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YorkInfoSurvey or pop into an Explore Library to ask for a paper copy with self-addressed envelope.

The closing date for the survey is 6th October 2024.

FREE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE:
The Armed Forces Day 2024 Football Fest is coming to the LNER Community Stadium on Saturday 6 July, 11am - 5pm, with Ladies and Men’s teams from the British Army going head-to-head with North Yorkshire Police in this inaugural competition.

You don’t need to have a military connection, this is a community event and everyone is welcome.

The tournament will see teams made up of members of local military personnel, competing as “York Garrison” versus North Yorkshire Police, taking part in what promises to be a highly entertaining duo of football matches.

Turnstiles open at 11:00am. The Ladies match kicks off at 12 noon and the Men’s match kicks off at 2:30pm. In addition to the football there will be information stalls outside the stadium, and free children’s entertainment, music and performances within the stadium grounds. The event is completely free due to the generous sponsorship of LNER and other local businesses and pre-booking is essential.

Armed Forces Day is an annual celebration of our armed forces communities, their families and veterans where we say thank you for their dedication and service. We hope to raise awareness of the issues this community faces and raise money for an armed forces charity, which this year is DMWS, and we'll be collecting donations on the day.

Please note parking is extremely limited onsite so we are encouraging people to use sustainable methods of transport to attend the event such as walking, cycling, electric buses that serve the adjacent Park & Ride (Number 9) and car-pooling where necessary.

General admission tickets are available now at https://www.yorksmc.co.uk/buy-armed-forces-day
