Household Fund for Oil Users

 You may be eligible for a grant towards Heating costs, ERYC are providing help to people who may be eligible via their Humber and Wolds Rural Action scheme;

Domestic Violent Abuse

Domestic Abuse is a topic that most of us do not want to think about let alone talk about, but it affects every community at every level. You or someone you know may already have been impacted by domestic abuse as statistically it affects one in four women and one in six men over their lifetime. It impacts on 750,000 children each year in England and it costs the UK economy an estimated £66 billion pounds a year.

Would you know what signs to look out for? Would you know what to do if someone in your family or community needed help?

If the answer is no but you would like to know more then we would love to come and talk with your council members, give a presentation or just provide you with posters and leaflets for your community.

We would like to try and ensure those impacted by Domestic Abuse across the whole East Riding know that local services are here to help, give confidential advice and support.

East Riding Events

ERYC compile a list of local event and business focussing on promoting the East Riding to tourists and local residents to encourage use of our wonderful countryside and its produce.

Walking East Yorkshire Festival

Saturday 9 - Friday 22 September 2023

Do you have a product or experience that would be attractive to outdoor enthusiasts? Walking Festivals are big business with over 100 held in the UK annually promoting outdoor experiences. Whilst the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail provides the main hook for walking in our region, there is also an abundance of smaller linear and circular routes to enjoy. Less energetic explorers are tempted with a mix of outdoor experiences such as: themed tours of historic towns, boat trips, foraging, bushcraft, food trails and visits to local food and drink producers.

Visit East Yorkshire (VEY) would love to hear from any business who provides tours, short talks about their product, tastings and demonstrations or provides a stop off point for walkers to add to their experience. Ideally it would be great if you had a local walk nearby!

Check out www.walkingtheriding.eastriding.gov.uk for details of walks in your area and contact the VEY Events Team at info@veyevents.co.uk to discuss your ideas further.
