Wider Community Services (Employability)

Wider Community Services from Carers Plus Yorkshire offers a diverse range of opportunities and support for adults in the Scarborough, Whitby, and Ryedale areas. Whether you are seeking help to overcome barriers to employment, looking for meaningful volunteering roles, or simply want to connect with your community, our services are designed to help you find new purpose, build confidence, and make new friends.

What we offer:

  • Employment and Training Support: Through our RISE2THRIVE project, we support adults in North Yorkshire and York who are out of work and face challenges engaging with employment or training.
  • Volunteering Opportunities: We welcome volunteers for a variety of roles, including befriending and other tailored opportunities that match your interests and skills. Volunteering with us is a great way to break isolation, gain new experiences, and contribute to your local community.

How to get involved:

  • Contact our friendly admin team for a welcoming first call.
  • If you are working with another support agency, you can reach out together.
  • Explore our website to discover more about our services and current opportunities.

We encourage anyone interested—whether you need support or want to volunteer—to get in touch. Our team is here to help you take the first step towards a more connected and fulfilling life.

Location: Our services are primarily available in Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale, and North Yorkshire.
