Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource - Ryedale Community Support Organisation

About

Over and above our continued role to support carers and those isolated under normal times in the community  - SRCR were asked by NYCC to undertake a wider Covid-19 response role and establish the Ryedale Community Response Organisation in partnership with Ryedale Carers Support and Ryedale Community Transport. 

We have done this with our usual 150% energy  - and so far have supported the recruitment, training and induction of 135 NYCC Community Response volunteers and are offering on-going support to over 320 households across Ryedale district  - this number increases daily!  

Our work extends to supporting many of the local town/village networks as they work to bring together invaluable spontaneous volunteering at a very local level.
