Fundraiser set up for well-known Harrogate woman who has died
Helen McCallum, who died on September 16.
A fundraiser has been launched for a well-known Harrogate woman who has died.
Helen McCallum, who was described as a “wonderful member of the community”, died on Saturday.
She had worked as bar manager at Harrogate Hockey Club and volunteered at Harrogate Cat Rescue during the covid lockdowns.
A fundraiser has been set up by Mandy Lotts to help give Helen “the wonderful send off that she deserves".
At the time of writing, the page had raised £2,556.
In a social media post, Harrogate Hockey Club said:
“Helen has been at the club for several years, greeting everyone who walked into the bar with open arms and a smile.
"Her passion and dedication to her role led to the transformation of Hockey Saturdays and an increase in social activity at the club.”
Harrogate Cat Rescue said:
“Helen offered to help. All through the lockdowns, she home checked everyone who applied for a cat or kitten.
“She was professional and thorough and helped me enormously in preparing all the paperwork necessary to run a rescue. Helen only retired from the role when she no longer had time - due to work commitments.”
