Tim Gill from the Harrogate and District Roundtable said:
It’s great to continue our tradition of organising the Bonfire and Fireworks for the people of Harrogate and in aid of our charity partners. The event has been consistently popular for over 50 years, raising thousands of pounds for good causes and we hope the public and local sponsors will again feel able to support us-this year.
Tony Collins, Chief Executive of St Michael’s Hospice added:
We’re really pleased to be associated with this popular community event, and our volunteers will be there on the night to help with the event and raise funds for St Michael’s. Money raised at the event will enable us to continue our work offering vital hospice care, emotional wellbeing and bereavement support to local communities
The event is funded by public donations and sponsorship alone, and the organisers are asking the public to dig deep to support the event and to raise funds for Saint Michael’s Hospice.
