Carefound Home Care's Christmas coffee morning.

A local care provider's Christmas coffee morning has raised more than £1,100 for Saint Michael's Hospice.

Carefound Home Care held a complimentary Christmas coffee morning at The Ripon Inn hotel, providing a mix of festive celebrations including Christmas crafts, raffle prizes donated by local businesses, and carols from Holy Trinity School choir.

More than 50 people attended throughout the day, bringing together clients and their families, carers, and volunteers from other local charities.

Over £1,100 was raised, with all proceeds set to go to Saint Michael’s Hospice.

Danielle Ferebee, Recruitment & Community Manager at Carefound Home Care in Harrogate, said:

“It was so lovely to bring the local community together at our Christmas coffee morning.

"We had a great mix of people, and it was brilliant to see so many of our clients with their families and carers.”

She added:

“Carefound Home Care would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who attended, and a special thank you to local businesses Luce & Bear, G&T’s Ice Cream, Karma Ripon, Portly Pig, and The Healing Hub with Kelly Wise, for their generous contributions to our raffle.”

Alongside their other fundraising activities, this is an annual event organised by Carefound Home Care’s Harrogate branch.

Leonie Houching, Community & Events Fundraiser at Saint Michael’s Hospice, said:

“We are so grateful for the generosity and support of Carefound Home Care.

"The funds they have raised at their coffee morning are vital for us to continue helping those living with terminal illness in the Harrogate area.”
