🌟 Time2Volunteer Awards 2026 – Nominations Now Open! 🌟

Volunteers make a huge difference to our organisations and communities, and this is your chance to recognise them 💛



If you know volunteers who’ve made an impact over the last year (of which we have many in Withernsea!), we’d really encourage you to nominate them and help celebrate the amazing work happening across the VCSE sector.



Nominations are open for volunteers across Hull, East Yorkshire, and North & North East Lincolnshire who have contributed since May 2025 (excluding Founding & Long-Serving categories).



A reminder: nominations are judged on the impact of the volunteer’s contribution, not how many nominations they receive—so please share their story in as much detail as you can.



What’s included for shortlisted nominees?

2 complimentary tickets to the awards event
📍 DoubleTree by Hilton, Hull
📅 Wednesday 7 October 2026 | 🕐 13:00–16:30
Deadline: 6 July 2026



Submit a nomination here: Time2Volunteer Awards 2026 Nomination Form - CLOSES 06.07.2026 or for a paper copy please email: [email protected]

Good afternoon all.

Sadly The lookout won't be going ahead this evening due to illness and availability.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and we will of course hope to be back next Wednesday

The Wollstonecraft Society are recruiting 12 -17 year olds for their new programme, 'Start Somewhere...in Withernsea', a year-long programme where young people from Withernsea and nearby get the opportunity to participate in monthly creative and cultural experiences...some of the experiences will be in Withernsea and for others we will take young people OUT of Withernsea.

We are looking for young people who are looking for a boost of confidence, raised aspirations, creative and employability skills development too.

Wow. Just wow.

Dear The Labour Party,

In a recent investigation, approximately 85% of local authorities across England and Wales were shown to operate systems that alter, influence, or control Educational Psychology advice before EHCP decisions, either explicitly, implicitly, or through withheld governance frameworks.

Department for Education, will the proposed SEND reforms continue to allow local Authorities to alter Educational Psychology advice before EHCP and/or support decisions - YES or NO?
