Christmas Drive

The vision for this outreach project is for every underpriveleged child in Harrogate to receive a gift at Christmas time.

Our Christmas Drive was launched in December 2004 and was overwhelmingly embraced by our loving congregation. Our first drive raised a staggering 300+ gifts which were donated to the children's charity, Barnado's. In more recent years, we have supported Harrogate Social Services and Harrogate & District Women's Aid.

Realising the massive impact these simple acts of love had in the lives of the many children that were touched, the drive expanded to reach not only the children, but their families too. Families that, under normal circumstances, are unable to enjoy simple pleasures such as a meal out or going to the movies together, have been blessed with such opportunities.

With the generous support of two local farmers, we have also been able to provide numerous families with organic potatoes and carrots.

It is such a privelege for us to show the love of God to the Harrogate Community in this way.
