Harrogate Hospital releases charity calendar
To recognise the hard work of NHS staff during the coronavirus pandemic a Harrogate Hospital and Community Charity calendar is being released.
Now on sale, the calendar is raising money for the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust (HDFT).
The calendar showcases the winning entries of a photo competition run by the charity. The selection includes uplifting images of staff at work, as well as photos of the Harrogate district.
Ben Windass, materials management procurement officer at HDFT, took the winning image on the front of the calendar. He said:

Sammy Lambert, business development, charity and volunteer manager, said:
The calendars are available for a suggested £10 donation, with all proceeds going to HDFT. This is thanks to sponsorship from Living and Home, a homeware store based in Manchester, whose director has strong ties to the trust after his daughter was born at Harrogate District Hospital.
The Trust will use the funds to provide electronic tablets for patients to video call relatives while in hospital. It will also use them to improve its services, training and facilities.
