Public Health Yorkshire and Humber would like to hear the views and opinions of parents and carers who have children aged 2-5 years old.
The survey is very short but will provide very useful feedback regarding young children and physical activity.
The research carried out will be used to create a pilot in parts of Yorkshire and Humber but they are looking to gather views from across the country, and if the pilot is successful they hope to look at rolling the project out across England.
‘Second Thoughts East Yorkshire’ (STEY) has been awarded a £9,970 grant from the Big Lottery ‘Community Fund’.
Based in Barmby Moor, STEY’s aim is to promote good mental health for people living in the East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull. The charity has no fixed training room, but responding to need, it hires venue across East Yorkshire so that people living in the suburbs and rural areas can access support near their home.
Supporting people with mental health problems and their carers, the charity delivers life skill support workshops including confidence building, assertive communication, anxiety management, skill awareness and effective communication.
The sessions run over 4 weeks for around 3 hours per week and all of the workshops are free to participants. STEY has already run many sets of workshops in Hull, Willerby, Anlaby, Hessle, Beverley, Driffield, Goole, Pocklington, Hornsea and Withernsea and with this grant, from 1st April 2019 they can continue to deliver many more across the county.
A set has started in Beverley, with more arranged to start in Pocklington and Hornsea within the next month.
As well as supporting people managing mental health issues ranging from mild anxiety to depression to more enduring conditions, STEY also works with the carers of people managing their mental health problems and with employers too. Through supporting employers with mental health awareness and advice on effective management in this area, STEY helps employees to retain their jobs and so avoid long periods of absence and subsequent reduction in quality of life.
A £3.9 million grant to complete the transformation of Hull Minster into a hub for the city has been announced following funding from Highways England. The investment comes from a dedicated fund which is designed to protect historic features in areas near to major roads, helping them to be harmonious with their surroundings. The Highways England Environment Designated Fund will safeguard the Minster’s heritage for future generations and create a sustainable future for the church as a magnificent place of worship, focal point for the community and magnet for visitors.
With work set to start this spring, the Minster can now be restored, renovated and extended to fulfil its full potential. The grant is linked to the proposed A63 Castle Street scheme, which passes just 100 metres from the church. This major project is designed to improve access between the Port of Hull and the national road network via the city centre.
Highways England’s funding for the Minster allows for a number of major improvements, including a glass, bronze and stone extension which will house a visitor and heritage centre with exhibition spaces, a café and other new visitor facilities. The extension will lead into a “heritage corridor” within the church, creating a home for carefully-curated exhibits about the history of Hull and the central role the church has played in it.
A young man has been in touch with us regarding support beyond August of this year. The organisation that currently supports him with a key worker will be losing its funding, meaning that he will have no support beyond that month.
Currently he does 2 hours a week as a volunteer dealing with reception and routine admin duties, and is confident in his role, and is keen to maintain this into the future.

“We are sad to inform you that the result of the recent tender process for the provision of non-clinical community sexual health services means that Cornerhouse (Yorkshire) will no longer be providing this service across the city.
“Cornerhouse has delivered this type of service for the past 30 years and as I am sure you will understand we are extremely disappointed with the decision. The successful organisation was MESMAC.
“Cornerhouse will work closely with MESMAC to ensure the smooth transfer of service delivery. There will be a period of uncertainty until we know which roles and staff will transfer to the new provider.
“However, Cornerhouse is VERY MUCH OPEN FOR BUSINESS and will still be delivering services through the following projects: CARE (CSE), ReachOut (Street based provision for young people) and HeadStart Hull Young People’s Peer Mentoring Project. We will also continue to run the Step Out group (Young people’s LGBT+) in partnership with the Warren. This means we will still be accepting referrals and will continue to work with you in partnership to ensure that the young people of Hull get the support and services they need.
“In addition to the above, the CEO and Trustees of Cornerhouse are discussing the way forward and the potential development of new and exciting initiatives that will be developed to meet the identified needs of young people in Hull and the surrounding areas.
“We will work hard to ensure we communicate effectively with you and to keep you up to date on future developments as we believe that good communication is the mainstay of positive relationships and effective partnerships.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support in enabling Cornerhouse to deliver effective sexual health services over the years and we look forward to continuing our journey alongside you.
“If you want any further information please contact me on manager@wearecornerhouse.org ”
For and on behalf of Cornerhouse (Yorkshire)
