Stephen Ault EDITOR
As I write this, the nation is in a period of mourning following the loss of the Queen who died peacefully at her Scottish estate Balmoral on the afternoon of Thursday 8 September. Queen Elizabeth II was 96 years old and reigned for an amazing 70 years, making her the UK’s longest-serving monarch. She was considered by many as the ‘nation’s Grandmother’, a familiar, calm figure always there carrying out her duty, and offering calm and reassurance in our ever-increasing turbulent world. An icon of stability, she was much loved by millions not just here on our shores but worldwide too, and we are all truly saddened at their death – we feel devastated as she meant so much to us for such a long time. An inspiration and a comfort when times were difficult, she served her country with great dignity and grace always, right up to her final days. Our sincerest condolences to the Royal Family – our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
The Queen held a very special place in the hearts of people here in Whitby and a number of businesses closed their doors and events were postponed following the passing of the Queen as a mark of solemn respect. Heartfelt tributes were paid by the town’s Mayor Linda Wild and others to the Queen’s long and eventful life led, reflecting on her public service as Queen and Princess for over 80 years. Flags have flown at half-mast at several premises throughout the town and many flowers have been laid at the War Memorial at Dock End. Churches throughout the town have been open daily for personal prayer, lighting of candles and signing of books of condolences. The mood is solemn, and a stark contrast to when our community came together just a few months ago to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with so many joyous events and parties. The Queen will be greatly missed and will always remain in our hearts and memories. We now look to King Charles III and wholeheartedly wish an equally successful service to his country as he now takes the throne.

CONNECT AND JOIN THE WHITBY COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITY
There’s no shortage of problems affecting people. Some are specific to individuals, including ourselves, but others relate to people worldwide we don’t know who are impacted by famines, floods and conflicts.
Our personal reactions to these range from sympathy to empathy if we have experienced the kind of situation ourselves and possibly reaching compassion, which means doings something about it. Compassion is the level that costs in some way – investment of time, perhaps money and certainly emotion. The Covid-19 pandemic spotlighted compassion. Volunteers helped to manage the flows at vaccination centres and delivered essentials to the housebound in lockdown. It was large scale action, public and visible, whereas most compassionate responses happen privately between friends and family. However, very importantly, many happen with complete strangers when paths just cross.
Compassion begins by realisation of a need. Perhaps by being told or by noticing how someone appears to be. The way a person responds to a casual “how are you?” may give the clue and the setting might be a queue, a bench, a food bank or anywhere.
Having friends will increase the likelihood of receiving help, but for those who are isolated help will be less certain. The odds in favour of help will be increased if there are people at large who are alert to signs of someone lacking support, falling through the net. Having people at large is the purpose of the Whitby Compassion Project. They will be “Community Connectors” providing intentional compassion when circumstances arise. They will be volunteers going about their ordinary daily life until they bump into someone needing and wanting help with an issue. A Community Connector simply gives them time to talk. The project will develop volunteers to be ‘signposts’ in chance encounters pointing towards sources of help. Signposts are not destinations. The AA advert “but I know a man who can” is apt. Community Connectors will not ‘tinker under the bonnet’ themselves but will point to those better placed to identify solutions. The grassroots approach has worked well in Frome, Somerset under the visionary leadership of a GP. She foresaw the need for, and benefit from, floating
volunteers who could give time as needed to help those whose needs were not medical but more likely related to isolation.
The Frome project also pioneered the role of Health Connectors that have now become the primary care link workers today. Link workers signpost patients to activities and services that might benefit them. Local examples of these targeted services with experienced advisors are Whitby DAG and MIND. Others such as the Men’s Sheds, Revival North Yorkshire and Whitby Beach Sweep offer activity-centred support.
There are numerous other groups, sometimes not well known, playing their part for people feeling on the outside or downside of life. There are no one size fits all solutions to needs.
How will Connectors be prepared for their important role? They will have an introduction to the role and then draw on their own first-hand experience, on what they learn over time and by accessing a Whitby Handy Directory online. This is a map-based tool using information collected about Whitby activities and services.
A feature is that the service/activity entries can be tagged with keywords also used to describe an individual person’s need. These can be used in conjunction to generate some preliminary matches.
How might you help Whitby Compassion Project?
1. Tell us of activities/services in Whitby district that might welcome people one by one to their activity. Just the barest details will do.
2. Become a local Handy Directory Champion tracking local activities that start, change or finish.
3. Consider becoming a Community Connector. Introductory sessions will begin in early 2023.
4. Consider helping to arrange some regular “pop up” Talking Cafés using commercial or community cafes; places to meet, chat and where anyone wanting assistance can come.

YORKSHIRE LOFT LADDERS, QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST!
These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in.
The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains:
‘Our watchwords are Quality, Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford.
Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.
At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’
So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!
