This Summer edition 'Small but Vital and Valued', shared during Small Charity Week, celebrates the contribution our local charities make. Run by local people for local people they really understand what's needed for our community to thrive for everyone.     

Small Charity Week celebrates and raises awareness of the essential work of the UK’s small charity sector who make an invaluable contribution to the lives of millions of individuals, communities and causes across the UK and the rest of the world.

Frances Elliot, our Harrogate & District Community Action CEO, will receive an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, in recognition of her services to the community during the Covid 19 pandemic.

During Volunteers’ Week we have launched ‘Celebration of Volunteering 2021’

Every year between 1 – 7 June we celebrate the positive difference volunteering makes to everyone involved. Volunteers’ Week highlights and recognises the contribution of people who share their time, passion, skills and enthusiasm to do something positive for local people and our places all

How are we doing? Please help keep HADCA on the right track 

The positive signs of spring are everywhere now, arriving at the same time as hopeful indications that life can return to something like normal as the lockdown restrictions are carefully lifted. Catching up with family and friends outdoors, enjoying a drink in a pub beer garden or a marquee

Community groups and projects can apply for grants from THE LOCAL FUND for the Harrogate District, supported by donations from THE LOCAL LOTTO and Harrogate-based Full Circle Funerals. 

At our network meetings we hear about the contribution of people who give time in many different ways to support the vital work of local community organisations.
