Harrogate College

What an incredible day at Harrogate College! ✨ Last Saturday, we hosted the very first Kinder Harrogate Festival where over 30 local charities and organisations joined us, along with nearly 300 local residents and families, for a day full of kindness and positivity. A massive thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special, including our fantastic organising group: Full Circle Funerals, @HGNeighbours, Resurrected Bites, @walkerfosterlaw, Home Instead, Renew HG1 and Life Stories UK. We’re so grateful to be part of such a wonderful event that strengthens our community ties! #KinderHarrogate #HarrogateCollege #CommunityKindness #LocalCharities 📷: Photo by @fullcirclefunerals 📸
