Harrogate Homeless Project - HHP

Harrogate Homeless Project - HHP Harrogate Homeless Project (HHP) is an independent charity founded in 1992, dedicated to supporting homeless people in and around Harrogate.

Harrogate Homeless Project is an independent charity that was founded by Harrogate Churches Together in 1991 (a registered charity in 1992) in order to try and alleviate the growing number of people sleeping rough in the district. The project operates from two sites. Firstly we have a 16 bed direct access hostel on Bower Street, secondly we have our day centre; Springboard on Oxford Street. Betwee

n the two sites, Harrogate Homeless Project aims to provide multifaceted support to homeless and vulnerably housed people who are connected to the area and help them to move on to independent living. The project is able to give 24 hr support to residents in the hostel all year round. We also provide 24 hr emergency intervention for rough sleepers through taking up the No Second Night Out scheme. Although partly funded by statutory bodies, the project relies heavily on the support and generosity of the local community in order to provide the high level of support we aim for. There are many different ways in which members of the public are able to help us, please see our donations page for more information. The project also depends on the dedication of our team of volunteers. Based at the hostel or at Springboard our volunteers play a vital role in the smooth running of both sites and have a huge impact on the people we help.

The next big step: from living on the streets to permanent employment
Imagine trying to get a job with no stable home, no interview clothes, and no one to support you.

For many people in Harrogate experiencing homelessness, this is their reality — and it can make employment feel completely out of reach.

At Harrogate Homeless Project, we’re changing that. We help people rebuild confidence, prepare for interviews, and take meaningful steps toward independence.

Because homelessness should never define someone’s future.

This summer, we’re launching our HHP Summer Appeal, to fund a dedicated job coach — and we need your help.

Your donation could give someone the support they need to take that first step back into work and towards a brighter future.

Amy will be truly missed by colleagues and clients alike, but we’re excited to see what the future holds for her. We wish her the very best of luck in her next chapter and thank her for everything she has given during her time with us. 😊

🧶 We’re having a Craft and Cakes Event on Thursday, 11th June, 10am–2pm!

We will be setting up a stall on the steps of the Wesley Chapel, where you can browse and purchase a range of handmade crafts all made by our amazing volunteers. Treat yourself or buy something for a relative or friend – everything on our stand would make a really lovely, unique and creative gift.

We will also be serving coffee, tea and homemade cakes and can hopefully place a few tables outside if the sun is still shining! 🍰

Come and join us! It’s a lovely way to support HHP, pick up something special and receive a very warm welcome. 😊

At Harrogate Homeless Project, we see every day just how complex and challenging life can be for the people we support.

Right now at HHP, we’re supporting 37 people — and many are facing incredibly tough challenges every single day.
💙 32 are living with mental health conditions
💙 22 are suicidal or have been recently
💙 Many are struggling with sleep, eating and basic self-care
These aren’t just statistics — they are real people, doing their best to get through each day.

But there are moments of hope. This week, 3 of our clients attended a self-care course at the Harrogate Chocolate Factory, taking positive steps towards rebuilding their confidence and wellbeing. It’s small steps like these that lead to lasting change. With the right support, encouragement and opportunities, people can begin to rebuild their lives.

Please support the work we are doing at HHP — whether that’s sharing this post, getting involved, or helping us continue to provide vital support to those who need it most.
