The Salvation Army in Scarborough have outlined their plans for the future as lockdown restrictions start to ease.

Major Stephen Noble is from there and said:

"I think one the lovely things that has come out of this is the way that we're able to interact with people and so over this coming month, we're going to be looking to establish more and more outreach and one of the programmes that we're looking at is called a 'victory programme'.

"We're going to be starting to run some training courses to help families, some of the elderly folks and to help some of the more vulnerable people within our community, on very simple things like simple cooking, we're going to be doing some courses on nutrition, cooking and food hygiene.

"Some of those courses will be online and some of them when it's possible will be face-to-face. So I think the past year has been one where we've really had to adapt and bend to the needs of our community and we're seeing that as we go forward."
