Your chance to shape the future of The Local Fund for the Harrogate district
The first meeting of the Friends is tomorrow, April 24, 5-6.30pm at Rudding Park Hotel. Reserve your space at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/first-meeting-of-the-friends-of-the-local-fund-tickets-44444447539The overall ambition of the fund is to ensure that the Harrogate district has its own significant pot of money to support local charitable activity in the district. It's been set up as a partnership between the Two Ridings Community Foundation, Harrogate Borough Council and Harrogate and Ripon Centres for Voluntary Service.
It will be a long term fund available to invest in projects and activities that benefit local communities and residents, focusing on the key local issues and needs of our area - including loneliness and isolation, support for carers, and mental health.
