STAYING CONNECTED

Mashamshire Community Office works hard to keep you up to date with the latest information and items of interest.  We keep you connected in the following ways:

  • This newsletter for Locals, which is produced weekly - Usually on a Wednesday or Thursday - we would send a short "e" bulletin if there should be anything urgent.  Contact us if you have feedback or would like to contribute info.  Print and pass on to anyone without email.
  • The Mashamshire Community Facebook Page dedicated to sharing community news.
  • The Visit Masham Facebook Page which, though aimed at visitors, is a useful source of info about great things to do locally.
  • The VisitMasham.com which contains loads of information for both locals and visitors including a Directory of businesses and local groups, Events and community news. 
All of these are only possible with the help of our wonderful volunteers.
 

CAN YOU HELP?

Our paid staff only amount to just over two FTE posts, we couldn't do without help from volunteers.  Our statutory funding covers a fraction of our staff hours.  This leaves the remaining hours plus ALL our overheads, most of which we cover by generating additional funds ourselves from things like ticket sales, advertising, the Flock Gallery and Town Hall bookings etc. We certainly couldn't do this without our volunteers. If you have time to spare and would like to support us, please do get in touch.

These difficult times demand we do more, but our income-generating is limited by Covid.  So, here's a way to give something back to Mashamshire Community Office and help ensure we can continue our work for Masham.  Any help is so much appreciated - click to donate online or if you prefer, please call us on 01765 680200.

Kind regards
