Volunteers needed to support arts and heritage
Hull and East Yorkshire HEY! is known for its blue-coated volunteers, who greeted visitors to Hull during its UK City of Culture year in 2017.
After the programme expanded into Bridlington last year, applications are open for new members.
Volunteer Stewie Bruce, who is based in Bridlington, said: "Being a HEY volunteer is a good way to make friends, it's a big happy family."
With about 2,500 volunteers, the programme allows people to donate their time flexibly.
Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: ''HEY! Volunteers play a significant role in supporting tourism within Hull and the East Riding."
The authority said the programme could help people to build confidence and meet new friends, as well as helping to improve their employability and communication skills.
It said members would also be able to choose the events they would like to take part in.
Mr Bruce added: "You also get to meet people from all different backgrounds, who are really interesting.
"It puts a smile on my face when I put on my uniform to go out to an event."

How Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber Are Doing Amid 'SWAG'
Justin Bieber's new album SWAG dropped on Friday, and features multiple songs about his relationship with Hailey Bieber—including "Walking Away" and "Go Baby." And apparently the process of making the album brought Justin and Hailey closer together. "Hailey was by Justin's side for the whole creation of the album," a source tells People, who notes that the couple have been celebrating together all weekend. "Everyone knows Justin as a star and a performer. They now get to know the artist that Hailey has known all these years." They added that "Hailey supported Justin to follow his artistic instincts. She helped him to trust himself and do what Justin knew he wanted to do as an artist." SWAG comes amid never-ending TRULY non-stop rumors about Justin and Hailey's marriage, but the Rhode founder made it clear that she has nothing but support for SWAG by reposting some promo along with the message "Is it finally clocking to you fucking losers?" Meanwhile—after causing controversy with his post about Hailey's Vogue cover—Justin made it clear how proud he is of her on "Go Baby." Some lyrics? "That's my baby, she's iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it / And, oh my days, she keeps 'em talkin', it's comedy, just block it, oh, my baby." Oh, and "So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me / Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it / You better believe it that I can hold all the weight and shrivel inside." Check out the lyrics to Justin's Hailey-themed SWAG songs below!

Justin Bieber's ‘Go Baby' Lyrics Explore His Private Dynamic With Hailey
THE RUNDOWN Justin Bieber began his Swag song 'Go Baby' with a shout-out to his wife, Hailey Bieber, her famous Rhode phone lip case, and the constant online chatter surrounding their marriage. 'That's my baby, she's iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it,' he sings. 'And, oh my days, she keeps 'em talkin', it's comedy, just block it, oh, my baby.' The rest of the song takes a more sensitive turn, shedding light on how he comforts his wife through life's ups and downs and relentless public scrutiny. He tells Hailey, 'Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break / Don't need to pretend that you're okay / So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me / Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it.' In the chorus, he adds, 'Lay it all down and I can love it away, just stay by my side.' Hailey recently spoke to Vogue about how she is trying to shut out the noise and how Justin helps her cope. 'I feel like I've fought so hard to try to get people to understand me, or know who I am, or see me for me. And people just don't want to sometimes,' she said. 'And there's nothing you can do about that. I've been in a position where I've tried to tell my side of a story or correct a narrative or tell the truth of a lie and then they go, Well, she's lying. Imagine how trapping that feels.' She reflected on her decision to ignore the commentary, saying, 'I've learned so much from Justin, really. He's been doing this literally since he was a child and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, 'Baby, trust me, I've been here before many, many times. You're not going to win. There is no winning.'' Justin's lyrics paint a poignant portrait of how he supports Hailey in private. Read them and listen to the song below: Verse 1 That's my baby, she's iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it And, oh my days, she keeps 'em talkin', it's comedy, just block it, oh, my baby Refrain When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break Don't need to pretend that you're okay Pre-Chorus So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it You better believe it that I can hold all the weight and shrivel inside So cry on my shoulder, that low melody Cry on my shoulder, I know you'll breach me Lay it all down and I can love it away, just stay by my side, oh Chorus So go, baby, go, baby, go, baby Go, baby, go, baby, go, uh Just go, baby, go, baby, go, baby Go, baby, go, baby, go, oh Verse 2 Sunday to Sunday, I'm here whеn you're weak Coaster bеside me, it's always okay Every moment, you know where to find me You don't have to speak, I can read you (Ooh) Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break (Ah, ooh) Don't need to pretend that you're okay (Ah, ooh) Cry on my shoulder, I know you'll breach me Lay you down and I can love it away, just stay by my side, oh Go, baby, go, baby, go, oh (Ooh)
