To help answer such questions, we have two speakers: representatives from Harrogate library and Harrogate and Ripon Centres for Voluntary Services (HARCVS). Julie Lonsdale who is the Outreach Librarian at Harrogate Library will outline all the resources that the Library now provides including support, training and information about digital communications, and book manuscript resources, local history and family tree interests, social and meeting opportunities including coffee mornings, a Reading Group, and a place simply to relax and browse. 

Following this, Angela Jones from Harrogate and Ripon Centres for Voluntary Services will talk about the vast range of services and groups in the District which HARCVS regularly supports. Angela produces a monthly Bulletin which is a major source of information about everything to do with voluntary activities; this Forum’s meetings are regularly included. Angela will be able to tell the Forum about the range of services and information available from HARCVS.

Admission £2 including refreshments and raffle ticket.

Perhaps you fancy joining a group of people to share an interest and/or find company. Social connections are as important as money and health, according to a major new study. So, how do you find out what is going on in the Harrogate district? Well, of course, you can explore this website! There are links to all sorts of groups, organisations and sources of information. For example, have you ever looked at the Harrogate and Ripon Centres for Voluntary Service (HARCVS) events webpages? Alternatively you could always visit your local library for ideas about recreational and educational events.
