It is officially Knaresborough Bed Race time... next week!
This year, our team of 7 (6 runners pushing like mad, and 1 very brave passenger holding on for dear life) is taking on one of the most gruelling, eccentric, and downright exhausting challenges in Yorkshire.
Why We’re Putting Ourselves Through This?
While we face a temporary struggle on race day, many elderly and vulnerable people in our community face daily challenges. Harrogate Neighbours is a lifeline. Our incredible Meals on Wheels service delivers over 100 hot, nutritious meals every single day to people in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, and all the villages in between.
For many of these residents, the Harrogate Neighbours team isn't just delivering food—they are providing a friendly face, a vital safety check, and a connection to the outside world that prevents profound isolation.
Our Goal: We want to smash our fundraising target to keep these delivery vans rolling and ensure no one in our community goes hungry or feels forgotten.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line
We are doing the heavy lifting (literally), but we can’t reach our goal without our community backing us up.

Thank you so much for your support, your generosity, and for helping us champion the amazing team at Harrogate Neighbours.
Let's do this!
