What are these services?

Help for adults

We can provide help and support for adults in North Yorkshire. The help you receive will depend on your situation and needs. We can offer help ranging from a simple information leaflet to full support by dedicated social care workers.

Much of the support we can provide is through our adult social care service but we also work with other council services and external organisations to provide you with all the support you need.
