Help Out Ripon

03/06/2026

Help Out Ripon only launched at the end of November and already it's making a big impact, offering that extra boost to charities and community groups in Ripon.
We want to say a great big THANK YOU to those who have volunteered already and those who are about to do their first volunteering with Help Out.
They've been helping with dinners, delivering brochures, baking cakes, delivering leaflets, helping with stalls, marshalling fun runs- our volunteers can put their hand to almost anything!
As one charity said, "I can’t tell you how much difference it made to our work and stress levels this week – it was a huge bonus having extra hands to help".
So thanks again to all our volunteers!

Volunteering can come in many forms, one of our lovely Help Out Ripon volunteers baked these lovely cakes for Dementia Forward for their National Garden Scheme event and is already planning bakes for their next one!

Whether it's a few hours a week or a one-off project, your time is the most valuable gift you can give. 💝The New Year is a time of good intentions that often fade by February. But when you choose to volunteer, that resolution transforms into a tangible lifeline for someone else.

Our HADCA Volunteering Directory lists dozens of opportunities to help local groups, whatever your skills or interests - follow us Volunteering - Harrogate & District Community Action for some ideas to inspire you. ✨🧡

Our Help Out Harrogate and Help Out Ripon crews offer flexible volunteering which is a fantastic way to stick to your New Year's resolutions, as it allows you to contribute meaningfully without becoming overcommitted or overwhelmed. There’s no ongoing commitment and you can do different things for different charities each time.

Thank you Harrogate Advertiser for your support. 📰
