What We Do

We serve our community, visitors and businesses by providing:

  • A central source of reliable information – whether by email, social media, face to face or word of mouth; we inform residents, visitors, community groups and local businesses.  If we can’t help, we usually know someone who can.
  • A hub – to enable collaboration and partnerships in Mashamshire. We connect people, organisations and groups, so we can work better and achieve more together – from fundraising to buying our building, getting new ideas off the ground and launching new events.
  • A voice – that speaks up for the interests of our rural community to other outside bodies.  Our voice is heard because we have worked hard to connect with organisations within and outside Mashamshire

Our Services Include

A large cheque from Swinton Estate helped raise vital funds to buy the Mashamshire Community Office building

By securing our building as an asset for the community in 2023, we are able to carry on providing a range of services and activities which continue to grow.

We can also keep providing low-cost venues for Acorns Pre-School, Masham Parish Council, and the Community Library.
