On the evening of the 13th February 2017, Hartlepool Families First Health Bus was broken into causing significant damage to the Health Bus and stealing a significant amount of equipment.

As a fundraiser for Hartlepool Families First and a regular visitor to Cafe 177, I find it incredibly hard to take, especially knowing the work that HFF do with Families and individuals across the town, that someone could cause so much damage to the vehicle and steal its generator.

This service does an amazing job helping the town stay healthy and providing regular health checks to our elderly folk.

Id like to think the community of Hartlepool and the surrounding area can get HFF back on track by fundraising a small, but significant amount to the charity to help them get back on the road.
