Twenty local organisations are set to benefit from the Harrogate Christmas Fayre in the form of its Charity Hut.
The fayre, which opened on November 29, will feature a hut, provided thanks to Market Place Europe, North Yorkshire Council, and Harrogate & District Community Action (HADCA), in which the twenty organisations can exhibit.
The benefiting organisations include Vision Support, Harrogate Hospital Radio, Girlguiding North Yorkshire West, Dementia Forward, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, HADCA, Open Country, Harrogate Skills 4 Living Centre, Community Safety, Yorkshire Cancer Research, Nidd Valley Methodist Churches, Harrogate Cat Rescue, Harrogate Parkinsons, Harrogate Brigantes Rotary Club, Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity, Artizan, Samaritans, Saving Yorkshires Dogs, Harrogate Town Community Foundation, and JennyRuth Workshops.
The organisations will be fundraising or selling products they have produced, as well as using the fayre as a platform to share important information with visitors.
Frances Elliot, chief executive of HADCA, said: "The Charity Hut at the Harrogate Christmas Fayre is a vital opportunity for small local charities, providing a much-needed platform to showcase their work, sell handmade goods, and connect directly with the community.
"At a time when funding is increasingly challenging for many charities and community groups, the fayre's support offers a real boost.
"We’re delighted that 20 organisations will benefit this year, not only to help them raise essential funds but also to raise awareness of their causes."
The Harrogate Christmas Fayre, located on Cambridge Street and Market Place, will run until December 15.
The fayre is open 10am to 7pm from Monday to Saturday, and 11am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
