A HUGE thank you to the Rotary Club of Harrogate for donating fantastic hampers to our tenants for Christmas . This kindness makes a great difference to many people who otherwise might struggle . We are so grateful that you have thought about our scheme for the second year .

It was a lovely afternoon with food , fun and festive quizzes at Harrogate Staywell Christmas party . The buffet was very tasty with sandwiches , meat platter crisps and mice pies to name a few items. We all enjoyed dressing up in Christmas hats , ties, glasses and pulling Christmas crackers .We played bingo which was tense at times when people only needed one number to win a fab prize by getting a line or full house. It was a brilliant afternoon full of laughter and good Christmas spirit . Thank you to everyone who came along .
