The Story
Knaresborough Connectors is a Community Benefit Society driven by local residents to strengthen community ties. We promote social connections through various groups, clubs, and events, focusing on Asset-Based Community Development principles. Our initiatives aim to foster friendships and support local groups and residents, ensuring everyone is seen as "needed, not needy." Inspired by St. Robert of Knaresborough, we have been enhancing community well-being since 2018.
We follow the principles of Asset-Based Community Development. We work alongside residents and see people as “Needed not Needy”. If you want to know more, watch this video
