The North Yorkshire Council Community Directory provides information to the public and is maintained by North Yorkshire Council (“the Council”). Anyone who relies on this information does so at their own risk.
By accessing and using the directory, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions, which take effect from the first time you use the directory.

This directory is free to use and contains information given to the Council by third parties including community organisations. The Council takes no responsibility for the accuracy of information supplied in this directory.

Users are advised to undertake your own checks and verifications prior to engaging the services of any provider listed.
