HARCVS is in the process of setting up a voluntary car driver service for Harrogate, Knaresborough and the surrounding villages which will provide a door-to-door service on non-urgent journeys for essential trips, as well as  to attend medical appointments, lunch clubs, day centres etc.  We anticipate it will be operational by the end of the summer.
