Harrogate BID pledges £60,000 to tackle homelessness
Harrogate Business Improvement District is to give the Harrogate Homeless Project £15,000 a year for the next four years.
The funding will go towards converting the lower hall at the Wesley Centre into a day centre for homeless people.
The sum is in addition to the £37,500 the church received from the National Lottery's coronavirus community support fund.
The Wesley Centre will use the awards to install new toilets and refurbish the kitchen ready for the day centre services.
