As we celebrate Volunteer Week, we want to shine a huge spotlight on every person who gives their time to help make our town such a special place.

We are so grateful to all the incredible volunteers across our town who make things happen every single day. You’re the reason Knaresborough is such a brilliant place to live, work, and enjoy - a community full of heart, energy, and generosity.

A big thank you as well to our Town Councillors - while you are elected members, you give your time, dedication, and commitment to serve our community; working to support, protect and improve our town.

And of course, an extra‑special shout‑out to The Mayor of Knaresborough’s volunteer Town Guides - your passion for sharing our history, stories, and hidden gems brings Knaresborough to life for residents and visitors alike.

Thank you to every single one of you 💛

Life Chat – Small Steps… Big Changes

If you or someone you know is feeling unsure about what to do next, a Life Chat could really help.

Life Chats are free, informal, one to one conversations where you have the time and space to talk things through with a friendly member of the team. They’re for anyone who feels at a crossroads, whether that’s around work, learning, confidence, or simply feeling stuck to move forwards in your life.

There's no pressure and no judgement, just a friendly ear and help to explore your options and feel clearer about possible next steps.
Our team works closely with a wide range of support services, so whatever you’d like to do next, we can help point you in the right direction.

To book a Life Chat, call 01609 536 066 or email [email protected]

*This project is supported by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, using funding from the Department for Work and Pensions' Get Britain Working Economic Inactivity Trailblazer.
