OUR CO SAYS HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO THE RAINBOW CENTRE A SCARBOROUGH charity shop has given the town’s Rainbow Centre a pre-Christmas boost. Our Co has bought presents for the centre and filled food hampers which have been displayed in the window of its premises in Northway. The shop has provided woolly hats and gloves for the twice-weekly street patrols conducted by the Rainbow Centre and Salvation Army, who work in partnership. The night patrols are organised by Peter Thompson-Haigh. Our Co is run by a team fronted by Vronny Thorpe, whose daughter Bryony Cappleman, a nursing sister in the hospital's emergency and acute medical departments, ran a collection among colleagues for the Rainbow Centre. Our Co is donating £280 for Bryony and her colleagues to buy presents for Christmas Day patients. “We put them around a tree on the ward”, Bryony says.

Co presented £500 to Robyn Keech to help her run music workshops at Woodlands Academy; and £2,000 to Karen Porter of Willows Lull towards its £20,000 minibus appeal, to take children out when they stay there. The presentations were made by Our Co volunteers Andrew Baron and Leo
Ledden. The Rainbow Centre opened in 1997 to offer practical support to vulnerable local people. Since then, it has grown and offers an open door to anyone in need of help with any issues they are facing, with compassion, support and hope. Each year, the centre makes
around 12,500 critical interventions, helping vulnerable people during difficult circumstances and beyond. Our Co closed this week for a short break and will reopen in new premises in the new year.
