Whitby charity WHISH was among organisations invited to the Lord Lieutenant and Archbishop’s Garden Party held in the Deanery Gardens at York Minster.
The party was held to recognise the fantastic work carried out by volunteers and staff from various organisations across the county and Diocese, work which often goes unseen.
