Raworths is proud to support the Stray Ferret Christmas Appeal 2025 for the fantastic work of Henshaws. All money raised goes directly to this charity.

It's Christmas Eve and we are very grateful to everyone who has donated to our Christmas Appeal . 

To date we have raised £2,290 for Knaresborough charity Henshaws. Our target is £5,000. Please help us reach it. 

The people supported by Henshaws live with disability. Making arts and crafts not only brings them joy, it helps build confidence. 

Sadly though Henshaws has a waiting list. There are just too many local people with disabilities want to become an artmaker and use their facility.  

The charity has run out of room and is having to turn people away. It needs your help to build more space. 

The money you have donated is so important.

I know you are very busy today. But please, take a few moments, and donate if you haven't already done so. 

The Christmas gift you give Henshaws will have a life-long impact on the people and families Henshaws supports. 

DONATE HERE

In a few days we will close the appeal so this is one of our last appeals for donations. 

Thank you again and Merry Christmas, 

Best Wishes

Tamsin
