Food Thief

Earlier this week I filmed a story at a church food and clothes bank in Doncaster that's been targeted by a thief for a seventh time. That's despite the food and clothes that've been stolen - from St John The Evangelist Church in Balby - being free to anyone who needs them. After seeing the story on Look North last week a security company in Leeds has offered its services for free to act as a deterrent.

North Yorkshire Funding Cuts

From where I'm based in the South of our patch, I travelled to the north of the area we cover, to Northallerton, to report on charities in Ryedale which fear they'll lose funding that was promised to them before a shake-up of local government in the county.  The new North Yorkshire Council is reassessing almost 3 million pounds worth of grants awarded by the former Ryedale District Council.

School Trip

A community in Leeds has rallied round to raise thousands of pounds to enable more than fifty children in their area to go on a residential school trip to Whitby. Meadowfield Primary School in Halton Moor was forced to scrap their annual 3 day trip because they simply couldn't afford it any more. But when the owner of the local corner shop found out, he stepped in to fundraise three grand.
