Welcome to EDCCA
EDCCA is here to support Easingwold and District to be a strong, connected community — one where everyone enjoys a good quality of life, feels a sense of wellbeing and belonging, and knows they are part of a caring and supportive environment.
We bring this vision to life by providing and coordinating support that helps people live independently. By working closely with partner organisations and our dedicated team of volunteers, we identify local needs and respond through a wide range of services. Where we are unable to offer direct support, we provide information, advice, and help people connect with other appropriate agencies and services.

Consumer Education resources
We produce consumer education resources on a range of consumer issues. The materials are free to download. The activities are designed for advisers/ educators/ group leaders to use to raise awareness of consumer rights and responsibilities and for learners to develop the skills and confidence to deal with consumer issues.
We raise funds to support all our services to help people in the community.
Please visit our justgiving page at: https://www.justgiving.com/edcca to see how you can help.
As a registered charity EDCCA works hard to support people in need and improve their quality of life in Easingwold and District.
We know that there are many people who because of their age or for health reasons rely on the services that we provide such as using the community car scheme to attend a medical appointment or being visited by a friendly volunteer through our Befriending Scheme.
We have much to be proud of and we thank you for your continued support.
