The Harrogate Homeless Project September Virtual Run raises awareness and vital funds for people in the Harrogate District at risk of, or experiencing homelessness. After two very successful years, our Virtual Run has become a popular addition to the local running calendar. So once again, we are encouraging runners to grab their trainers and take on a 5k or 10k challenge on a day of your choosing in September 2024. A minimum £10 donation per person is required to take part.

£10.00 will provide a hot meal, shower, clothing and laundry facilities for a person experiencing homelessness

£15.00 covers the cost of providing a warm, comfortable bed for the night

£20.00 would enable a trained Support Worker to reach out to someone at risk of homelessness or living on the streets

Harrogate Homeless Project provides people experiencing homelessness in the Harrogate District, with a safe place to stay and the support they need to build confidence and move towards independent living. We operate a day centre, supporting people experiencing homelessness with day-to-day care, emergency overnight accommodation, a 16-bed hostel and move on housing along with a range of support services.

We have teamed up with Up & Running for the following prizes:

£75 voucher for fastest 5k and 10k times

£31 voucher for 31st fastest in the 5k and 10k distances

£100 voucher for best fundraising team (most donations raised for any distance)

Along with your £10 donation on entry, why not raise further donations for HHP, by setting up a JustGiving page and encourage friends, family and colleagues to support you. For more information click here.

Team entries are also welcome – challenge your colleagues and get running together and see if your company would like to get involved?
