Call for volunteers to help Ripon vaccination site
Volunteers are needed to support the Ripon vaccination centre, which is expected to open next month.
Mashamshire Community Office, a charity which offers information and advice in the town, is looking for a team of marshals for the site, which will be at Ripon racecourse.
Health bosses confirmed the location of the vaccination site yesterday.
Volunteers are likely to be needed from the second week of February, a post on the Kirkby Malzeard and Masham Surgery website said.
The post said days may vary, but volunteers are likely to be required on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Two sessions will be held at the site from 8am until 1.15pm and 1pm to 6pm. Ten volunteers will be needed per session.
All personal protective equipment and hi-vis will be provided and no DBS check is required.
Duties will include directing traffic and guiding people inside the site.
Anyone interested should contact Mashamshire Community Office on mco@visitmasham.com.
