Next Tuesday 12th March we receive a number of visitors led by North Yorkshire’s High Sheriff. This is a follow up to the Dragon’s Den contest of last year, organised by Two Ridings Community Foundation, and shared with 5 other volunteer-based projects across the region (including Whitby Interactive).
