This Summer edition 'Community Makes Us’ includes an update on the fantastic local community response to the coronavirus crisis and our focus as we move to the ‘recovery’ phase.  

This Volunteers’ Week is a time to say a special thank you to all volunteers across Harrogate District for their dedication and the positive difference they make in our communities.   

Our round up of advice, guidance and community information to support charities, volunteers and communities in Harrogate District will be reviewed weekly during these challenging and changing times caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

HADCA is a registered charity working all year round to support charities, volunteers and communities in Harrogate district. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we are supporting people to help others and stay safe, working with our partners and established charity and community networks.  

From Tuesday 24 March Harrogate Community House is closed until further notice.

The single most important action we can all take in fighting coronavirus is to stay at home in order to protect the NHS and save lives. 

With the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the UK, it  is hard for people to maintain their social connections. Looking out for our neighbours has never been more important. We can all do our bit to ensure that people who need a little extra help are not forgotten at this time and remain safe – be they family, friends or neighbours.

From 1^st May 2020 HARCVS will undergo a major change as it restructures to concentrate on the provision of services for older and vulnerable people delivered across the District under the umbrella of the Harrogate Easier Living Project.

Friends are like-minded people and organisations who wish to encourage charitable giving and gain support for THE LOCAL FUND for the Harrogate District.  A ‘Friend’ would act as an ambassador at events and meetings to encourage support for the Fund.
