Sainsbury's York Micklegate Local

The Big Communitea in Selby is your local lifeline for mental health support and everyday struggles. Through our support line and welcoming Drop in Centre, we offer early intervention, compassionate guidance, and clear signposting to the right help when you need it most. As a trusted partner of the NHS and like minded charities, we’re proud to work together to make real change. We also deliver vital training in Mental Health First Aid, Suicide Prevention, and Safeguarding, empowering our community with the tools to care, connect, and support.

Door 84 has been a part of the community in the Groves, York for decades and we want to make sure it remains so. Originally named “York Boys Club” it was founded in the 1930s. In recent years under the name "Door 84" the charity has evolved into a trusted provider of high quality services in our community. Whilst we regularly receive referrals of people who need support from the local authority, our funding is entirely dependent on donations and fundraising activities, including grants from charitable foundations. Our work is never done and therefore our fundraising is never done either! We will be running a series of campaigns through Crowdfunder to enable us to continue funding these important services for the community in York. Through FOOD, FRIENDSHIP and ACTIVITIES we support all sectors of the community across the year and offer a welcoming space to build relationships, get support in accessing services and have the chance to relax in a friendly, safe space for those who need it. FOOD is provided free through our food bank, at low cost through the Community Cafe, and is always on offer at youth sessions. Food has the ability to bring people together and show people care and we see this every day in our building. FRIENDSHIPS are central to all our services and they develop through our youth clubs, between participants at our SPARKS sessions for adults with additional support needs, and amongst the community who attend the Community Cafe and Foodbank. ACTIVITIES occur in the various youth groups for young people ages 8-17 years, in our SPARKS sessions for adults with additional support needs, and are many and varied at our open to all Community Days which occur 2 or 3 times a year.

Luke’s Larder is part of Your Cafe. We set up as a means of re-distributing surplus food to those in our local community. We operate on a Wed lunchtime 12.30-13.30 at St Luke’s church hall, Burton Stone Lane. We subscribe to Fareshare and have a delivery each week. To supplement this we are able to collect surplus fresh goods from stores. We also offer ambient goods which we buy with donations. We have no criteria for attending and support up to 150 people regularly. We encourage customers to donate £1 each visit if they are able.
