“We’re on a mission to raise awareness of the care sector as a whole. We want to make sure it continues to provide the best possible care to older people now and in the future. “Our annual ball is only possible thanks to the generosity and support we receive from local business, who in turn are helping us to raise the profile of care. “Many of our services, including meals on wheels and activities are only possible thanks to the amazing local volunteers, and as always we are thankful to them for their continued commitment.”150 guests enjoyed a ‘Night at the Theatre’ with entertainment from “Elton John”, live band the Downtowns and Harrogate Theatre Choir.
