Sergeant Dan Thompson, of Eastfield Police, said: “The Eastfield Gala is part of the Springboard for Youth initiative which we are launching as part of Operation Cracker.

"It’s a joint operation between Filey and Eastfield Police and Scarborough Fire and Rescue Service, to support young people through the easing of lockdown and beyond.

"It is also a great opportunity for all the community to come together after the difficult time that we have all been facing.”

The gala will be held at the Westway Open Arms between 11am and 2pm on Saturday, August 7.
