Local mission

As a member church of Churches Together in Harrogate and District we support fully the various initiatives it undertakes. www.ctharrogate.org.uk

Harrogate Homeless Project has been for many years a favourite for both our financial and festival gifts.

The fourth Sunday in each month is 'Tinned Food Sunday' when members of the congregation are asked to donate tins of food for use at the hostel for the homeless. Boxes of tins are taken each month to fill the pantry shelves thus enabling the clients to enjoy a meal which they have chosen and cooked themselves.

We have collected gifts of toiletries at Christmas time, food at Harvest and donated the offertory at the special joint services with other churches in Victoria Avenue.

Another initiative of Churches Together which we support financially. Indeed recently a very substantial monetary gift was sent to further help its work with young people in a drug, alchohol and tobacco free youth club atmosphere. On the second Sunday in each month we donate proceeds from our after-service coffee contributions and also have a 'retiring' collection for them.

Women's Aid

Our Christmas gifts this year were for the ladies at the Women's Refuge
