Harrogate charity to mark World Homeless Day

Monday, 23 September 2024 08:44

Harrogate Homeless Project is hosting a special event for World Homeless Day.

A Harrogate charity will be marking World Homeless Day next month with a special event.

Harrogate Homeless Project (HHP) will be opening their doors at their Springboard Day Centre on Thursday 10th October for people to come in and find out more about how they are supporting homelessness in Harrogate.

Visitors will be able to meet the team and learn of the charity’s other support services, including Horizon’s, SAFE and Red Rose Recovery.

Refreshments will be provided, and a team will be on hand to answer any questions about the work they do.

Doors will be open at the Springboard Centre, Lower Wesly Hall (entrance on Cheltenham Cresent), between the hours of 3-6pm.

Nicola Ridgway, Fundraising and Marketing Manager for HHP, said:

“It is so important to be raising awareness of the issues around homelessness and the challenges faced by people in Harrogate.

“We were keen to mark the significance of this date and what better way to do this, then to invite you in to find out more about what we are doing as a charity to tackle homelessness.”

During the day the charity will also be holding a Street Collection, to help raise much needed funds to support their work.

If you are able to support this event, get in touch with Pippa Kirchmann, Volunteer Coordinator at pippa@hhphostel.org or call 01423 647745.

Nicola added:

“Please consider donating just an hour of your time on this day and be part of making a real difference to Homelessness in our community.

“All funds raised will support our ongoing work fighting homelessness in the Harrogate District.”
