Harrogate Christmas Fayre 'delighted' to support nineteen local charities
A variety of local charities are once again benefitting from the Harrogate Christmas Fayre thanks to operators Market Place Europe, North Yorkshire Council and The Local Lotto.
Having opened on Friday 1st December for its third year, The Harrogate Christmas Fayre is ensuring local charities can raise awareness and generate vital funds for the important work they do.
Market Place Europe and North Yorkshire Council have teamed up to provide a stall at the Christmas market for the duration of the festive event.
The charity stall is sponsored by The Local Lotto - a weekly community lottery that raises money for good causes in the Harrogate area and neighbouring towns.
Saving Yorkshire’s Dogs, Harrogate Hospital Radio, Girlguiding North Yorkshire West, North Yorkshire Citizens Advice & Law Centre, Open Country Yorkshire, Harrogate District Street Aid, Harrogate Easier Living Project (HELP), Harrogate Skills 4 Living Centre (HS4LC), Ripon Community Link, Samaritans of Harrogate and District, Men’s Shed Harlow Hill, Harrogate Brigantes Rotary, Parkinson’s UK Harrogate branch, Vision Support Centre Harrogate, Dementia Forward, Carer’s Resource, Harrogate Hospital Community Charity, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Artizan International will all be attending the Christmas Fayre and selling products they produce, as well as using it as a platform to share information to thousands of visitors.
Margaret Allison, Trustee at Saving Yorkshire’s Dogs, said:
"We are incredibly grateful that Market Place Europe, North Yorkshire Council and The Local Lotto are working together to support local charities in the run up to Christmas.
"It’s a critical time for rescues all over the country, so by allocating us a chalet at the launch of the Harrogate Christmas Fayre, we were able to raise some much-needed funds and spread the word about the work we do providing rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming to vulnerable and at risk dogs in Yorkshire."
Harrogate Christmas Fayre is located on Cambridge Road, Cambridge Crescent, Cambridge Street and Market Place and offers an eclectic mix of enticing stalls to complement Harrogate’s independent retailers, restaurants, bars and boutique stores.
Nick Rhodes, chief executive of Market Place Europe, said:
‘’We are very pleased to be able to provide a stall for local charities as it gives them the opportunity to showcase their important work to the thousands of visitors who attend the Harrogate Christmas Fayre.
"We wish all the charities, the very best of luck during the festive period as part of the Harrogate Christmas Fayre family.’’
Harrogate Christmas Fayre is open until the 17th December 2023.
