Our vision is that vulnerable and isolated people in Ryedale, across the North York Moors to the coast at Lythe can lead a healthy and fulfilling life in control of their lifestyle choices. Older people have specific vulnerability because of loss of friends, mobility and income. The activities and volunteer support provided by Ryedale Carers Support identifies new and innovative ways of addressing these problems. Social isolation is proven to be a major factor in the lack of well-being of people leading to depression, lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. In addition to 1:1 volunteer friendships we would like to develop 2 flagship activities: 1. Lythe Farmers Breakfast is already in existence and provides a monthly group to enable those who are less able to interact and find themselves isolated, to meet for a chat and refreshments and listen to a rural or locally inspire 2.We want to start a quarterly musical event in Ryedale with professional good quality professional musicians. We would provide free transport to both events as this is often a barrier to participation in a very rural area. Both events would be free as lack of income can also be a barrier. By keeping people connected we hope that those who have become isolated in these very rural communities will be able to find friendship and regular social activities on their doorstep, and so provide the right type of support at the right time, which is crucial to the maintenance of health and well-being
Many Dental professionals are unaware of the huge potential that the combined value of removed restorations represents. We believe patients, professionals and the public are united in the belief that this money is best used for the greater good - to help the many children’s charities across the country in their vital work. That’s why we make it possible for value driven dental practice to make a big difference - collecting and turning restorations and old donated jewellery, into cash - which becomes income for children’s charities. Why Gold For Kids? As dentists ourselves, we know that there is value in the restorations and precious metals we recover from patients. Traditionally, due to the relatively low value of a single restoration, that value was retained. But what if that value could be multiplied and used to benefit some of the most vulnerable children in the UK? This is why Gold For Kids was created. Where does the money go? Gold For Kids currently partners with Barnardos and NSPCC, with a view to expand our support to other childrens’ charities as our partnerships grow. Currently resourced entirely by volunteers, our registered charity status means that in the future, the costs of operating the charity will be covered by the gift aid recovered on donations, so the value of your donation is what is transferred to the charity. How can you help? By showing your support through a cash donation, old jewellery or discarded dental restorations.
