Last year, the charity provided over 1,000 festive hampers to children, families and young people across North Yorkshire and the North East.

Now, they are asking for local businesses to donate non-perishable foods, drinks, new books and other festive goodies to fill up this year’s hampers and help those in need.

Finishing line in sight for Harrogate man after epic marathon challenge

Yvonne Campbell, Head of Charity and Business Development Project Manager, said: “Last year we had wonderful feedback from those who received our festive hampers, and after another difficult year, we would like to impart the same magical feeling to those who are vulnerable or in need across the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust footprint.

“Without the generosity of local business and communities, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve this last year and this year we hope to send 1,200 to the community.
