Presidents Charity 2024/25
“As President of the Harrogate and District Chamber of Commerce, I am proud to support Harrogate and District Community Action (HADCA), a charity that makes a lasting impact in our community. HADCA not only connects individuals and organisations but also provides specialist information and resources to support local charitable groups, promoting community action and collaboration through local partnerships.
Partnering with HADCA is an excellent way for businesses to fulfil their Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) goals while contributing to meaningful community change. Through their guidance and campaigns, HADCA helps create a network of support that strengthens our entire district, and I encourage our members to join us in backing their incredible work”.

Are you looking for volunteering opportunities for your employees?
Help Out Harrogate offers a great way for businesses to get involved in their local community as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility plan. Our latest project recognises that not everyone has the time to dedicate to regular volunteering. Help Out Harrogate is an initiative offering people the chance to volunteer at a variety of one-off events without the need to make a regular commitment. This injection of volunteering support into small charities or local groups will help make a difference to the people, places and spaces that matter to Harrogate.
The volunteering roles are varied, from marshalling at flu clinics or outdoor events to pulling pints at a charity beer festival, helping with sports events, litter picking or getting involved in conservation tasks. Some opportunities require a team of volunteers whilst others may only require one or two. Opportunities will be at various times during the week, evenings or weekends. For more information visit https://hadca.org.uk/HelpOutHarrogate or call Anna on 01423 813090.
Help Out Harrogate is part of Harrogate and District Community Action which champions volunteering across the district. HADCA are Chamber’s Charity of the Year for 2024. Alongside Help Out Harrogate, we also have a Volunteering Directory which lists other opportunities for group/corporate volunteering with local charities: https://hadca.org.uk/volunteer .
