We are happy to be working alongside The Alcohol and Drug Service to offer up to 180 FREE places on a tailored Substance Misuse and Suicide Prevention Training course.
There is strong evidence that shows that substance misuse and poor mental health can lead to an increased risk of suicide, yet our research has shown that there is no training available for professionals working in this field that helps to raise awareness of this.
Our FREE training session will help to upskill professionals to have the skills and knowledge to identify thoughts of suicide at the earliest opportunity, how to have a conversation about it and know how to support someone in distress. It will also support professionals to discuss drug and alcohol use amongst those who they support to ensure these risk factors are further supported. Our bespoke training will also explore the relationship between substance misuse and suicide, raising awareness of both areas and creating a suicide safer community for all.
Training will be delivered online via Teams and we invite those working in (but not limited to) Health Screening teams, Education, Youth Offending Teams, Youth Workers, Social care working with vulnerable adults and any other organisations where substance misuse and mental health issues may be present.
The partnership is funded by the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership Suicide Prevention Programme.

Third Sector Trends in North Yorkshire and Humber England 2022
This long-term study on voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises, cooperatives, societies and clubs (the ‘third sector’ or ‘VCSE’ sector) started in 2010.
A lot has happened in Yorkshire and Humber since we last did the survey in 2019. So it’s time to find out what has changed in the last three years.
Whether your organisation or group is big or small, flourishing, struggling or going on as normal, we need to hear from you.
It’s interesting, easy to do, and only takes about 10 minutes. You can do it on your phone, tablet, laptop or PC.
We build a picture of how organisations and groups work and what they achieve. This helps funding organisations decide how to invest in organisations like yours.
All answers are securely stored completely anonymously.
If you want to know more about the study, contact Professor Tony Chapman, St Chad’s College, Durham University, 18 North Bailey, Durham DH1 3RH, tony.chapman@durham.ac.uk
Castaway Music Theatre Survey – SEND provision in Beverley and the surrounding areas
Our lottery funded Creative Transitions project would like to gather parent/ carer/ young person feedback relating to arts provision in the area and possible demand for further groups in Beverley and the surrounding areas.
We are committed to developing and improving SEND provision in the East Riding area (and beyond), developing SEND awareness and advocacy in the community, reducing social isolation, building confidence and access to the arts for young people with additional needs and their families. If you can take the time to complete this survey you will be helping us to assess what we can do to move this vision forward.
Creative Transitions is funded by the National Lottery Communities Fund.
#iwill ambassadors reflect on launching the Vision for Volunteering
Over a month on from the launch of the Vision for Volunteering, ambassadors from the #iwill movement reflect on its significance, and the future of volunteering.
”On reflection, all felt that delivering the Vision was an empowering and unique experience that sets an example for truly collaborative and equitable volunteering moving forward: “We need to fully live the Vision in a way that is intentional and we need to give everyone a chance, opening doors to let people in.”
Trustees and charity leaders wanted for focus groups on productivity
The Law Family Commission on Civil Society is holding a series of online focus groups in early June exclusively for trustees and senior leaders of small charities (any registered charity with an annual income of less than £500,000).
They want to hear your perspectives on productivity, your experiences, the barriers you face and the solutions to overcoming them. This data will be used to bridge the current evidence gap that exists on the topic, so that they can develop recommendations for government and funders who can help the sector improve.
The Law Family Commission on Civil Society appreciates that small charities have limited resources, so they would like to compensate those who are offering their time. Participating organisations will be given £50 per focus group they attend.
Did you know that trustees of charity Boards are predominately white, male, and that the average age of a trustee is 61?
One of the main issues preventing board diversity is the recruitment process for trustees. Dr Ambreen Shah, a trustee at the Smallwood Trust, has been championing a shadowing programming to provide people with lived experience the opportunity to shadow existing Board members at the charity. Based on this work, she has produced some useful resources to share with others who are interested in doing the same:
My Community: All the latest tools, tips and ideas to make your community an even better place to live
My Community is a website for people and organisations who are passionate about their communities. Whether setting up a foodbank or planning finances, we all need a little help at times. My Community is the go-to place for this support.
Importantly, these are resources you can trust. All the content on My Community has been curated, written, designed or hand-picked by leading voluntary sector organisations who truly understand what communities need to survive and thrive – including NAVCA!
Implementation of the Charities Act 2022
The Charities Act received Royal Assent on 24 February 2022. The Act reduces or removes unnecessary bureaucracy and red tape, enabling charities to focus on their charitable work.
Changes include: making it easier to amend your charity’s governing documents; making it simpler to redirect money from a failed fundraising appeal; more flexibility over managing permanent endowment; simplifications to selling charity land, and improvements to processes for charities seeking to merge.
These changes will be brought over an 18 month period to give charities time to prepare for the new provisions, and to enable the Charity Commission to prepare new guidance, systems and procedures to support the sector.
The Safeguarding Adults Board is pleased to announce that the old ERSAB Consolidated Paperwork has now been reviewed and replaced with two new forms and guidance as follows:
Safeguarding Adults Concern Form
Guidance Notes on completing the Safeguarding Adults Concern Form
Safeguarding Adults Section 42 Enquiry Form
Guidance Notes on completing the Safeguarding Adults Section 42 Enquiry Form
Supporting documents are also available as stand-alone documents which are referred to in the Guidance Notes including the following
The online Concern form which should continue to be used as the preferred method of reporting a concern is still the old version but is being reviewed to mirror that of the new Safeguarding Adults Concern Form.

Energy meter scam warning as cold callers offer cheap top ups
Energy companies have warned those using pre-payment electricity meters of doorstep criminals offering to top them up at a cut price fee. Trading Standards Scotland said they were aware of recent reports of doorstep criminals and have urged people to not engage with cold callers who may be attempting to take advantage as the cost of living crisis has caused energy bills to increase. more.
Warning after ‘Nottingham Knockers’ visit homes in mid Suffolk village
A group of so-called ‘Nottingham Knockers’ have been reported visiting homes in Coddenham in mid Suffolk. Suffolk Trading Standards has warned the group are running a scam where they claim to be former prisoners who are on a youth offending scheme, attempting to mend their ways. more.

A National Insurance scam is once again circulating as criminals try to get their hands on Britons’ hard-earned cash. A number of people have reported receiving a phone call, with an automated message informing them about an issue with their National Insurance number. more.
WhatsApp scammers pretend to be daughter to steal money
2A woman who was scammed out of almost £16,000 on WhatsApp is warning others to be wary. Paula Boughton, from Paignton, Devon, thought she was making payments on behalf of her daughter, because the messages were “personal and genuine”. more.
Lloyds Bank issues urgent warning to customers over new scam
Lloyds Bank has issued an urgent warning to consumers as the number of ‘advance fee’ loan scams has surged recent months. Loan scams happen when a victim is asked to pay an upfront fee for a loan.They will typically reply to an online advert for a ‘fast loan’ from a company they have never heard of before, though sometimes the criminal will try to impersonate a genuine firm. more.
Cost of living crisis sparks HMRC and holiday scam warnings – 4 scams to look out for
Brits are being urged to keep an eye out for scams as the cost-of-living crisis continues to hit households hard up and down the country. Fraudulent criminals are preying on hard-pressed households’ need for cash – and with living costs surging and people eager to save money or make a bit extra, some offers may seem particularly tempting. more.
Which? Scam Alert
Phoney BT direct debit email
BT is being impersonated by scammers in an email that asks you to change your direct debit details.
As fraudulent emails go, this is a convincing one. It includes BT’s branding, logo and even BT’s customer service phone number. But the link behind the button directs you to a fake website. If you receive a message out of the blue about payment details, please always check with your provider directly before you click.
New fraud measures announced
Hundreds of banks and building societies must soon introduce the name checking tool ‘Confirmation of Payee’ (CoP) to help prevent bank transfer scams. With victims losing £28,203 an hour, we have repeatedly warned that CoP is a crucial layer of protection.
But what is CoP? Well, it’s easy to assume that your bank will warn you if you make a mistake when sending an electronic payment. But this isn’t always the case. Only with CoP can your bank tell you if the name you’ve entered matches the account details held by the receiving bank.
Carphone Warehouse scam call exposed
This scam is back, with fraudsters impersonating Carphone Warehouse to target would-be customers under the pretence of selling a new mobile phone. But this time, we’ve documented the whole elaborate scam journey.
While we recommend that you always hang up on a suspicious call, we’ve gone along with this scam to show you how it works, what to watch out for and how to report a call such as this.
B&Q Father’s Day WhatsApp scam
In time for Father’s Day, scammers are impersonating B&Q to offer you the opportunity to participate in a fraudulent contest.
The phoney WhatsApp message reads ‘B&Q Father’s Day Contest 2022’ and goes on to advertise 5,000 free gas barbecues to be won by entering a competition. See what the message looks like here.
And another fraudulent Father’s Day contest
It’s no surprise, scammers like to use seasonal events as a hook for their fake competitions. Promoted as a Father’s Day present, scammers are sending fake WhatsApp messages that advertise a hoax competition to win a beer cooler.
While coolers full of Heineken beers sound tempting in this hot weather, always act with caution with messages out of the blue. See what the message looks like here.
Online Nation 2022: Ofcom urges tech firms to keep women safer online
Our findings reveal that women in the UK are avid users of social media platforms, spending more than a quarter of their waking hours online – around half-an-hour each day more than men (4hrs 11 min vs. 3hrs 46min). But for many women, life online is not always a positive experience.
We found that while the majority of people say the benefits of being online outweigh the risks, women are considerably less likely than men to agree (63% vs. 71%). Similarly, fewer women are confident about their online safety (64% vs. 73% of men).
Female participants in our research say they feel less able to share their opinions and have a ‘voice’ online (42% compared to 48% of men). Women are also less likely than men to feel free to be themselves online (33% vs. 39%). For many, life online can replicate harmful discriminatory dynamics that exist in wider society.
As well as looking in detail at the harms people encounter online, Online Nation 2022 builds a comprehensive picture of the online landscape in the UK today. It delves into our broader online use, experiences and behaviours – everything from gaming to online dating – as well as the tech companies behind them. We also gaze into our crystal ball to predict what the future online landscape might look like.

Funding for your village hall or community building
As part of our aim to provide funding support to third sector organisations in our region ERVAS works with funding website easyfundraising. It’s something that can really work for your village hall or community building so we wanted to tell you about it.
With easyfundraising, 6,800 well known online retailers will donate to your building when your volunteers, staff and community supporters shop with them. Anything from a weekly grocery shop to a family holiday can generate a free donation for your building. Retailers include Amazon, eBay, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Booking.com, ASDA, Trainline, Tesco, John Lewis Argos and thousands more.
All you need to do is start your shopping journey at the easyfundraising website or app and the retailer you shop with will send your building a donation based on how much you spend. This will not cost anything extra as the retailer pays the donation, not the shopper.
Every 3 months your building receives all the donations raised by your supporters which you can put towards a particular project; or keep for a rainy day.
The benefits:
Free to register and use
Open to halls and buildings of all shape and size – you don’t need to be a charity
Easy to set up and requires minimal management
Unrestricted funds so you can use your donations as you wish
With the cost of living going up, this is an easy way for supporters to raise money because it won’t cost them anything extra
What do other buildings think?
“It is fantastic! So easy to set up and lots of retailers are involved. Sign up today – it is so easy to set up and you have so many tools to help promote your charity. So glad we joined easyfundraising.” Ladybarn Community Hub
“Like many community organisations we are looking at a very difficult year financially, due to the pandemic. easyfundraising enables usto quickly and efficiently reach out to the public to support work and services. Quite often community projects have limited time and resources to gather funding and create fundraising opportunities. This is a great way of doing it with little fuss!” Kinlochleven Community Trust
Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison has announced a £1m grant fund to run over the next three years.
The Community Safety Fund will offer grants toward the costs of crime reduction and community safety projects and provide support for victims of crime. It is designed to kick-start local projects that will cut crime and anti-social behaviour and improve residents’ feelings of safety.
The fund can provide grants of between £500 and £35,000 and is open to non-profit organisations, charities, community groups and social enterprises together with Town and Parish Councils. Examples of projects could include:
Measures to improve the safety of outdoor public spaces, community buildings or assets.
Activities and support for groups of people who may be particularly at risk of becoming victims of crime, or have previously been victims.
Activities and support for groups of people who may be at risk of being drawn into criminal behaviour.
Community events and activities with a focus on crime and safety issues.
The first round of funding is open until the end of June 2022 with the second round closing at the end of September. A total of £1.1m has been allocated to the fund until March 2025.
Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison said: “An important part of my role is to work with residents and businesses to make our area a safer place to live and work. For that to happen successfully it needs communities to play their part and work with the police, councils and other authorities to make a difference and find solutions to change things for the better.
“There are many excellent examples of community initiatives which are doing just that and it’s something I want to see more of, which is why I have launched this new fund to help local organisations. I’m looking forward to receiving applications so we can work together to cut crime and anti-social behaviour and make our neighbourhoods safer.”
