ILKLEY'S Clarke Foley Community Hub is inviting members of its ‘Friends’ scheme to an inspiring summer meeting on Wednesday, July 17 (6pm -7.30pm).

This special event - at the venue in Cunliffe Road - is designed to inform and engage their supporters who have joined the newly formed Friends of the Clarke Foley scheme which launched in November 2023.

Existing and potential new friends are invited along to come and meet the Clarke Foley team and discuss the ways that the scheme can be shaped moving forwards.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Hear from keynote speakers: Community Hub Manager Joe Short will present an overview of the hub’s current financial state, the challenges that lay ahead, and suggest ways that Friends can more actively support the charity.
  • Explore volunteering opportunities: Learn more about the range of volunteering opportunities available for those who wish to be more involved.
  • Meet the team: Connect with some of the dedicated staff and volunteers who help keep the hub running.
  • Enjoy light refreshments: Complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits will be served, offering a pleasant environment for networking and discussions.

"We are excited to meet with our friends and discuss the ways that this scheme could potentially achieve even more," said business manager, Joe Short. "This evening is not only about informing and engaging with existing supporters but also about inviting new friends to join us in making a meaningful difference."

Anyone wanting to become a friend can join the scheme today for just £30 a year by visiting www.clarkefoley.org.uk or by dropping into the hub.

The evening is free to attend, but RSVPs are encouraged to ensure adequate preparations.
