Coming Events

Here is an overview of coming events which have been requested by YOU the service users.


We are dependant on your ideas and suggestions, so keep them coming. ED-RAW prides itself in the wide variety of events we have and expect to deliver in the future. Keep the ideas coming and we will strive to deliver.







We will also be returning to those courses we have already run but by popular demand are being requested again. The Community Drug Service CDS will be delivering another Drug Awareness Level 1  before Xmas and will also deliver a new and very informative Cocaine Awareness in the near future!  Hopefully, The Community Alcohol Service CAS will be back to deliver the Alcohol Awareness which went down so well last time.






ED-RAW is proud to announce our first Domestic Violence and Abuse Awareness session. We are awaiting dates to deliver this course and are really pleased that so many of you enquired about this course. 



This is for men and women alike and looks at what is Domestic Abuse? spotting the signs, how to help yourself or someone else.. A very delicate topic, however, one that we all need to be aware of to effect change... 

Anyone want to message me to express an interest or ask questions please do so? Carole Williams Project Coordinator.


EXCITING NEWS FOR OLDER MEMBERS OF THE RAW COMMUNITY....This picture says it all... Just because you may be slightly older and should be seen as a little more mature why should you not enjoy yourselves.... 

Meet up with like minded others and have a giggle whilst making new friends.... Thats what our fab new support group RAW RECYCLED TEENS IS ALL ABOUT... 




We are holding an intro meeting on Friday 4th October at the WELFARE HALL EASINGTON between 10 and 12 noon to discuss what older members of the community would like to see in a support group for YOU....




We have a host of ideas to discuss and this group is very much about what we strive for INCLUSION FOR ALL AND REDUCING ISOLATION, LONELINESS WHILE MAKING OUR OLDER GENERATION FEEL PART OF THE COMMUNITY..


This will be a fun, interactive, cake eating, giggling, game playing couple of hours every 2 weeks so why not pop along and say hi or if you have a relative who could benefit come along with them... 

One thing I will guarantee is a warm welcome, a cup of tea and friendly team members to make friday a bit more fun... This group will be ran by Andrea Kelly and David Todd with the assistance of Kimberley Smith with the most important job of all TEA LADY!


Our up and coming new community chat group "LETS TALK ABOUT" will hopefully be kicking off in October..... As part of ED RAW community and family learning programme we will be running monthly "SPEAKEASY" sessions looking at and talking about issues and topics that YOU have asked us about... 

Due to many requests our first session will be looking at AUTISM and advising people about this condition whilst holding general discussion about it. AUTISM affects many families and I have had requests from parents who suspect their children are displaying autistic traits, people who live with the condition and also residents who just want to improve their knowledge on various subjects... 





I am delighted that the NORTH EAST AUTISTIC SOCIETY have agreed to speak at our first group and know this will be very well attended. We hope to improve people's knowledge of Autism to allow them to be more understanding... As soon as I have a date I will let all know, so watch this space.... 



Finally, Our Visually Impaired Training is fully booked after a great response from you all and we are looking forward to a great session.

We would like to apologise to those of you, and there were quite a few, who were interested in the 'Positive Pony Experience' for the kids. We have not yet sorted a date out with the pony farm but I am on the case... We hope to get you a suitable time and date so we can go along and let the children interact with these magnificent creatures... 

Great if kids have little confidence and you want to improve that, great for children who may have a disability and feel safe and happy around animals, and basically just a great basic life experience.. 


I've also had a few adults enquiring about this as seem to have had a fear of horses all their lives so this will also be open to you guys... Date to follow soon, PROMISE!!!! Carole Williams Project Coordinator. Tel: 0791 484 0143
