Victoria Shopping Centre has installed a wishing well for Saint Michael's Hospice. They hope to raise £25,000 to support the hospice's end of life care for the terminally ill.
The centre has raised £11,192 for Saint Michael's and hope that the wishing well will encourage more shoppers to donate. Tony Collins, the hospice's chief executive, says he is "delighted" with the initiative and the Victoria Centre's support.
The Hospice's current running costs are around £6 million per year, which averages to £15,000 per day. It receives much of their funding through donations, fundraisers and sales from their eight Harrogate based charity shops.
The well is located on the first floor, between Next and Toyland.
