Happy Birthday Harrogate Homeless Project (HHP)
HHP is launching a fundraising campaign for its 30th Anniversary. Plans are underway to develop the charity’s Springboard day centre to create a thriving community hub where people experiencing homelessness can access services that will give them the support they need to build confidence and move towards independent living.
Currently Springboard offers a weekly GP surgery, podiatry, hairdressing, showers, meals and practical advice and support including housing advice and counselling.
The hope is to expand this to include services such as dentistry, opticians, yoga, mindfulness and even a vet clinic, plus basic cookery classes, nutritional advice, literacy and numeracy classes and IT skills sessions.
On Thursday 21 April – which is National Tea Day – you’re invited to join their “Cuppa Tea for HHP” campaign.
On 22 May Ripon Cathedral will be pealing the bells to mark the official 30th anniversary of the charity.
