Meet The Many Hands City Guardian on York’s Watchers Trail — a celebration of care, compassion and connection. 🤝

Created by York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity, this guardian is made up of many hands, each representing someone who has cared, comforted, supported or given their time to help others.

From hospital staff and volunteers to families and donors, every hand tells a story. The Many Hands Guardian celebrates the power of people coming together and reminds us that care is strongest when it is shared.

🗺️ Pick up a free trail leaflet from the Visit York Visitor Information Centre, 28 Back Swinegate.

📅 Explore the trail until 31 August 2026.

A Make It York event in collaboration with York Minster.
