We are delighted to say that our work in supporting Otley Courthouse has resulted in a grant of £20,000 a great result as the Courthouse is a recent client for us and it’s always good to get that first result! Otley Courthouse is a local arts and resource centre offering a varied programme of community activities. Each week they host many groups and classes including: exercise classes, a community choir, chair-based yoga, Pilates, knitting, Under 5’s group and a dementia group. Our community café is open daily. They host a number of community groups including Otley Maker Space, Wharfedale Men’s Shed as well as a monthly craft fair, Otley Green Fair, an Arts Festival and Science Festival and school holiday activities for children and offer part time work and volunteering for young people.The grant will fund one staff member to co-ordinate volunteers. Over 12 months, they will train and support 80 volunteers including training 30 new ones. The training will be open to partner organisations and other community groups, providing networking opportunities. This will enable volunteers to run events, classes, deliver admin and publicity, and welcoming people, all whilst developing themselves.
