Reuse Santa is back for its eighth year.

From 15 to 29 November, donate clean, complete and working toys and games at Household Waste Recycling Centres across North Yorkshire and the City of York.

Last year, more than 5,000 pre-loved toys were given a new home through charity partners, helping families facing cost-of-living pressures.

When you visit, tell site staff you have donations for the Reuse Santa appeal and they’ll show you where to leave them. Please note, toys powered by mains electricity can’t be accepted.

Volunteer toy sorters are also needed at Reuse Santa’s Northallerton workshop. If you can help for a half day, full day, or even just a little time, email: [email protected]

Family life isn't perfect. It's messy kitchens, rushed mornings, forgotten PE kits and last-minute dinners.

While these moments may seem small, for a child who needs a permanent home, they are exactly what matter most.

Adoption isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, being there and giving a child the security of a permanent family.

If you've ever considered adoption, now is the time to explore what's possible. Find out more from One Adoption at: https://www.oneadoption.co.uk/about-us/about-one-adoption-north-and-humber

📣“The police were in the meeting, so they'll already know…”
Don't assume.

Police attendance at a meeting isn't necessarily the same as intelligence being formally submitted through the appropriate route.

Where relevant intelligence has been identified:
🔹 be clear about who will submit it
🔹 use the appropriate intelligence-sharing route
🔹 record what has been shared and why
🔹 ensure information shared is relevant and proportionate.

🧩 Close the loop. Don't assume someone else has shared it.

✍️ Writing good intelligence doesn't need to be complicated.

Before submitting information, ask:
🔹 What do I know?
🔹 How do I know it?
🔹 Why is it concerning or relevant?

Record the information clearly, distinguish fact from opinion or information reported by someone else, and explain the context that makes it relevant.

Facts + context + why it matters.

🔍“It's only a small piece of information…”

It could still be important.
A name. A location. A vehicle. A username. A pattern.
Relevant information connected to a safeguarding, exploitation or criminality concern may help build a wider picture when combined with information held by others.

⚠️ Don't share intelligence in Facebook comments or messages. Use the appropriate reporting route.

🤔 Is it intelligence or something that needs reporting to the police?

Knowing which route to use matters.

🚨 Immediate danger or an emergency? Call 999.
🔵 Reporting a crime that isn't an emergency? Use the appropriate police reporting route.
🟠 Information that may help build a wider picture of safeguarding risk, exploitation or criminality? Consider whether it should be shared as intelligence.

Our guidance can help professionals understand which route is appropriate.
