Fund-raising hospital charity set to celebrate 30th anniversary

In 2025, Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity (HHCC) will be celebrating our 30th Birthday with a range of events and initiatives to mark our journey and incredible supporters. This invaluable dedication has allowed us to continue going above and beyond the provision of the NHS across Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust (HDFT) for 30 years!

In 2025, we have lots for you to get involved with, including the National Three Peaks with travel on Friday 2 May, and the challenge commencing from Saturday 3 to Sunday 4 May. This exciting fundraising adventure will lead participants over Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours!

The HHCC Team are dedicated to supporting all who take part in reaching their fundraising target of £1,500.00 by setting up a personalised Virtual Donation Page, sharing hints and tips, celebrating each fundraising milestone and more. Not only does this challenge have a positive impact on your health, but you will be raising vital funds for your local NHS!

Another way to bring in the New Year by supporting local causes, is with our Great Start in Life (GSIL) Foundation Winter Raffle.

These include a Weekend Stay & Spa for 2 at Rockliffe Hall, a Sunday Night Pamper Spa Break for 2 at DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa, an overnight stay for 2, including breakfast at Radisson Blu, Durham, plus much more!

Tickets are only £1 each and every penny raised will help to ensure the children, young people and their families accessing care provided by HDFT services, including Harrogate and the surrounding area, to have a Great Start in Life!
