📸 A Look Back at March
March was a month full of connection, collaboration and creativity at Our Space!
We were proud to welcome some brilliant local groups who shared their time, passion, and projects with us:
🧹 The Selby Womblers
dropped in to talk about their fantastic community clean-up work. Their mission is simple but powerful — help keep Selby clean and green by encouraging people to “womble” while they walk! We love what they do, and it was great to connect over shared community values.

What they achieved for Selby
during their #KeepBritainTidy Campaign
🚶 Move Mates
visited to share how they support people who might feel isolated or lack confidence getting out and about. Their friendly volunteers offer companionship on short local walks - it’s not just about moving, it’s about moving together.
🎶 The Wellbeing Choir
filled Our Space with uplifting harmonies and friendly energy. Open to all voices, this welcoming group is all about connection, confidence, and the joy of singing — no experience needed, just enthusiasm!
Find out all about them and how to get involved
And of course, our café sessions continue to grow.
Full of friendly faces, warm drinks, and good conversation.
