  • CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020
    CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020 Offering financial assistance to local volunteer groups and networks who are responding to and recovering from the Covid-19 crisis. Please note the funding should only be used for such associated costs. Aim of the funding The aim of The CEF Covid-19 community support funding is to provide a ‘community float’. This will enable local voluntary groups to access financial assistance to support their activities that help communities to connect again. How do community networks access the funding? The funding is held by the Community Support Organisations (CSO) to administer on behalf of Selby District Council. The CSO will be responsible for coordinating and supporting a network of local voluntary community groups. Under this agreement the CSO will agree a simple payment system with each group across the CSOs network can access the fund. Each group that receives funding will need to produce proof of expenditure (i.e. receipts/invoices.) What expenditure is eligible? The funding can be used flexibly to enable groups to operate smoothly without financial barriers. How the funding has been used will be reviewed / discussed at each reporting stage but it is reasonable to conclude that this is likely to be: . Volunteer expenses (might be mileage, refreshments) in relation to covid-19 response/recovery activity . PPE (gloves, sanitisers etc) . Cleaning/sanitary equipment/items . Administrative/marketing supplies (printing, stamps, stationary etc) . Equipment to enable delivery of services (i.e. phone credit, games, social distance signage) What is not eligible? . Personal payments or financial assistance of any kind.

  • English Heritage / Heritage at Risk in Yorkshire and the Humber 2010
    The Heritage at Risk Register helps us to identify the most threatened buildings, archaeological sites and landscapes in this most distinctive of English regions. For the 60% of listed buildings on this year’s Register that could have a sustainable future through commercial or residential reuse, the economic downturn has brought additional challenges to which we must now respond. This year, we undertook a pioneering 15% sample survey of England’s 14,500 listed places of worship to help us understand the condition of the thousands of designated churches, chapels, synagogues, mosques and temples and other faith buildings that are the spiritual focus for our communities. They face many different kinds of challenges and we need to ensure their future. In response to the expansion of asset types and changed Last year we included conservation areas in the Register economic conditions we have developed a new strategy. for the first time.

Restructure of Local Government – As part of Local government reform, the Local Government Minister introduced a new condition to the devolution deal in that as a new tier of representation is being introduced (i.e. an elected Mayor), a tier should be removed so that there isn’t additional bureaucracy. Currently North Yorkshire has what is known as a ‘two tier system’. There are seven District Councils – Selby, Ryedale, Scarborough, Hambleton, Richmondshire, Craven and Harrogate – which deliver circa 80 services locally including housing, planning, council tax services, and bin collections; and a County Council which delivers circa 50 services including social care, children’s services, schools, highways, and libraries.

  • U DDPR Papers of the Preston Family of Moreby 1331 - 1992
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Preston Family of Moreby U DDPR Papers of the Preston Family of Moreby 1331 - 1992 Biographical Background: The Preston family originated in Westmorland but were living in Holker by the seventeenth century. The second son of George Preston of Holker, Christopher Preston (b.1639) became a Leeds merchant. The family remained as merchants in Leeds through the rest of the seventeenth century and Christopher Preston's grandson, John Preston (d.1710) was an alderman and mayor of Leeds in 1692. Papers relating to the pew he purchased in Leeds church are in the collection. One of his daughters married Marmaduke Lawson (b.1685) of Moreby whose estates passed to the Preston family after he died without issue. The Preston family made good marriages in the early eighteenth century. William Preston (d.1772) married Ellen or Helen Farrer in 1721 and she brought a marriage portion of £600 and ultimately family estates as represented in the estate papers in the collection. His son, also William Preston (1723-1791), married Elizabeth Kilvington in 1756 and her marriage portion was £4000. When he inherited Moreby from Marmaduke Lawson he left Leeds to reside there. His brother, Henry Preston (1737-1808), stayed in Leeds and married Ann Fourness. Two of their sons died as young men in 1804 and their youngest son, also Henry Preston (1779-1837), married Maria Ann Crompton, ultimately succeeded to Moreby after the death of his uncle and became High Sheriff in 1834. His other uncle, Thomas Preston (1742- 1827) became vicar of Scalby and died childless, his estate passing then to Henry Preston's son, Thomas Henry Preston.
