This year, Bettys Northallerton have chosen Hambleton Community Action as their branch charity.

Hambleton Community Action is a well-established volunteer-led service that has been serving the community for over 45 years, providing services such as shopping, telephone befriending, community visiting, bereavement support and friendship.

Many of the recipients are elderly, isolated and suffering from the cost-of-living crisis. Any funds raised will be used to help provide social outings and trips to help with loneliness as well as supporting the other services that the community needs.
