Couple driving from Seamer to Italy to help refugees

David and Christine Campy are driving from Seamer, to Milan to help distribute donations from local people.

David and Christine Campy are driving from Seamer, near Stokesley, to Milan to help distribute donations from local people.

Their trip was inspired after reading emails from former Stokesley Circuit Methodist Minister, the Rev Daniel Pratt Morris-Chapman, who relocated to Milan in August after spending a year working in North Yorkshire.

Part of his remit is to work with refugees in the area who are waiting to be repatriated to other areas of the European Union or back to their original country.

WHEELS 2 WORK SCHEME

Wheels 2 Work

The Wheels2Work scheme (which covers Richmondshire, Hambleton, Harrogate and Craven), now has a fleet of 50cc mopeds available to be loaned to individuals wishing to progress in life but disadvantaged by a lack of available transport between their home and place of work, training or further education.

The scheme, which is a charity and non-profit making, provides a wonderful opportunity for young people who live in areas with limited public transport to fulfil their potential.
