On what would have been the day of our annual Christmas Fair and one of our favourite events of the year, we would like wish all local traders support and encourage all of our loyal attendees to continue to shop from these amazing brands despite lockdown.

As always we continue to support Yorkshire Air Ambulance and YMCA Ripon, now more than ever charities need your support, so if you would like to donate please follow through to the links on their websites.

Ripon YMCA always needs support given transport costs can be a barrier for young people. They are isolated from the wider jobs market in Harrogate and from their support networks due to the bus fare. As the central hub for education, employment, mental health appointments and the job centre, Harrogate is only 20 minutes away, however a return ticket costs £8.30 and a monthly pass is £120. We support up to 30 young people every year who would otherwise be homeless, a bursary fund for transport would be a valuable service for our tenants and we hope you can support their cause.

We hope everyone is keeping safe and well as we look forward to welcoming you back in 2021.
