HARCVS is one of several local voluntary and community organisations which hold the Duke of York Community Initiative (DOYCI) Award. This is a Royal Award presented to community projects based in Yorkshire.

After eighteen months of hard work behind the scenes by the trustees of both Harrogate Community House Trust (HCH) and HARCVS, responsibility for the ownership and management of Harrogate Community House has now been transferred to HARCVS. 

The Autumn / Winter edition of our Care in Action Newsletter includes news of exciting developments for THE LOCAL FUND for the Harrogate District and a new era at a much loved home for Harrogate voluntary and community groups. 

HARCVS Introduction Sessions last for around an hour. The session comprises informal presentations by HARCVS staff on the support services we provide, our directories, THE LOCAL FUND for the Harrogate District and information about the local voluntary sector.

Thank you to John Fox, all sponsors and partners and most of all the amazing volunteers who made the 11th Annual Volunteering Oscars Awards Ceremony on 2 November 2018 such an inspiring and special event, with over 350 people attending.

Our HARCVS Impact Report gives some examples of how we have helped communities, charities and volunteers over the last year.

17th July 2018 is an important day for the Harrogate District, especially for local charities, community and voluntary groups. THE LOCAL LOTTO for the Harrogate District has launched for ticket sales.

Friends are like-minded people and organisations who wish to encourage charitable giving and gain support for THE LOCAL FUND for the Harrogate District.  A ‘Friend’ would act as an ambassador at events and meetings to encourage support for the Fund.
