From May 2010, Northorpe Hall will be offering counselling for parents whose children have accessed our young peoples counselling service. For more information please see http://www.northorpehall.co.uk/supporting/counselling/

We recently sent out a survey to nearly four hundred children and young people who have accessed our services in the last year. 

We had a great response – over a hundred returned – and lots of positive feedback about our services.  They have told us that Northorpe Hall Child & Family Trust really does make a difference to the lives of most of the children and young people we work with.

The survey offered free entry into a prize draw.  This has now been drawn and a 17 year old young man from Birkenshaw has won the £20 high street shopping voucher. 

If you would still like to give us your feedback then don't worry it's not too late, just send back the questionnaire in the provided prepaid envelope or phone 01924 492183 and you can complete the questionnaire over the phone.

The first Northorpe Hall Child & Family Trust fundraising dinner on the 19th March was  great success, raising nearly £1000 for the charity's work with children.

All seats were sold out in advance and 75 people sat down to four courses of delicious home made food.

Lee McKone, chef, said "There was a great atmosphere, and the waiting staff - Northorpe Hall workersand my wife Bridget - did a great job.  The first of many!"

There were donations of champagne, chocolates and beauty treatments for a raffle, and guests were generous when buying tickets, and many made additional donations.

Thanks to everyone for making it a great evening, and for giving so much.

Other ways to get in touch.

Northorpe Hall Trust has worked with the Green Business Network to work out how we can reduce our environmental impact.  We have insulated all our buildings better, we use low energy lighting and recycle our office paper.

We monitor our energy use every month and aim to see a reduction through careful use, increased insulation and energy efficient applicances.

We compost waste from the kitchen, use local suppliers for supplies and services, have donated unwanted furniture and equipment to local charities.  We have a highly efficient wood burner (suitable for smokeless zones) and burn locally produced wood to heat the hall in winter.

We have plans to replace our (very) old gas central heating boiler, and have replaced an old barbed wire fence with a thorn hedge.

There's always more that we all can do to reduce our carbon emissions, and we will continue to do what we can.
