A tourist information facility is hoping your Wish tokens will help to keep their services running.
Great Ayton Tourist Information Centre is a self-funded organisation, run by volunteers who are dedicated to providing information on the attractions in the area to both visitors and local people.
Located in the High Green car park in the village, the facility was set up after Hambleton Council gave it up eight years ago. A management committee of local residents stepped in to help provide the service.
Since taking it over, the volunteers have been responsible for raising money to keep it running.
Last year, the group entered The Gazette’s Wish campaign and successfully managed to gain the support of readers.
The Wish money that the group received last year was spent on providing their service throughout the past year.
With regards to this year’s campaign, Christine Parker of the group said: “Wish money helps to pay for the running costs of our office, helping us to continue to provide a quality service.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community.
Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette.
The last token will appear on January 21. Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Great Ayton Tourist Information Centre, send your tokens to: 17 Buccleuch Close, Guisborough, TS14 7LP.
