Carrianne Walters, Franchise Owner comments:
Myself & Darren officially took over this territory in July 2022, and have worked extremely hard to get where we are today. We love the job that we do, and the people we meet on a day-to-day basis. We feel so lucky to work in this area.
When we found out that Harrogate Town AFC were looking for this particular partnership, we jumped at the opportunity. We believe that giving back & supporting the local communities is a must. The caring support that is on offer by all involved in T.O.T.T, is there for all in need. This could be to change their normal daily routine, meet new friends, or just have a good old ‘Chit Chat’
We would like to thank Joanne, Jill, Steve & The Team for their work in getting this off the ground.!
