- This newsletter for Locals, which is produced weekly – Usually on a Wednesday or Thursday – we would send a short “e” bulletin if there should be anything urgent. Contact us if you have feedback or would like to contribute info. Print and pass on to anyone without email.
- The Mashamshire Community Facebook Page dedicated to sharing community news.

CAN YOU HELP?
We simply couldn’t do all that we do without help from volunteers! Our statutory funding covers a fraction of our small paid team’s staff hours. This leaves the remaining hours plus ALL our overheads, most of which we cover by generating additional funds ourselves from things like ticket sales, advertising, the Flock Gallery and Town Hall bookings etc. Read all about our volunteering opportunities here. If you have time to spare and would like to support us, please do get in touch.
If you’d like to give something back to Mashamshire Community Office and help ensure we can continue our work for Masham, any help is much appreciated and donations are welcomed! Click to donate online or if you prefer, please call us on 01765 680200.
