Welcome
Welcome to Knaresborough Connectors!
At Knaresborough Connectors, we help people build stronger connections with their community and with one another. Through a range of free regular activities, community events and one-off opportunities, we support local residents to feel more connected, improve their wellbeing and get involved in community life.
We also help people find the right district wider local services, groups and activities, and local events. Through our sister website Knaresborough.Community, we make it easier to access support, meet new people and discover what's happening in and around Knaresborough.
Knaresborough Connectors is here to support and enhance the vibrancy of our local community. Our work is rooted in Asset-Based Community Development, which means we focus on the strengths, skills and resources that already exist within our community.
Together, we're creating a more connected, inclusive and thriving Knaresborough.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
NEIL
"I had a chat with Connectors and then it was pretty good really, I got to try a few things out. I met some amazing people, really friendly. I'm probably going to set my own stuff up now."
JOAN
"Lovely conversation with a member of the Connectors and it went from there. I joined the choir, made some friends and life's been kind. Thank you Connectors!"
BARBARA
"I'd moved to Knaresborough not long after Covid and things hadn't really gone to plan. I left a message with Connectors, they rang back and a few weeks later I'd met some super people who helped me. I now run my own group."

Coffee, cake & conversation
Reducing social isolation
Once a month a group of over 65s meet up at The Gracious Street Methodist Church in the centre of Knaresborough for tea, cake and a natter.
Knaresborough Connectors has found these people through outreach and relationship building work over the years since Covid.
Improving digital skills
Digitally Connected Knaresborough is delivered in partnership with Gracious Street Methodist Church, and a brilliant small team of volunteers.
We run a free, monthly drop‑in clinic where anyone can bring their digital questions or tech problems to one of our Digital Champions. .
