We are dedicated to corporate social responsibility, focused on giving back to our local community of Harrogate.
We are ambassadors within our community and our staff are active in supporting local initiatives and charities including a Harrogate-based charity, nominated by our people. Our fundraising includes participating in community events and activities throughout the year.
We also recognise the need to look at our environmental footprint with the aim of finding ways to minimise our impact on the local community. By reducing our impact on the environment we encourage and support sustainability. We have recently introduced our Sustainability and Carbon Reduction plan at Raworths which aims to achieve a positive impact on the environment, our people and business.
We are enthusiastic and care about what we do.
Raworths has named Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity (HHCC) as its official 2025/26 charity partner. HHCC provides specialist equipment, training and services to help enhance treatment and facilities for all departments and services at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust. Raworths’ support coincides with a milestone year for HHCC– which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025.
Previous local community Charity of the Year partners have included, most recently Harrogate District Food Bank, Vision Support Harrogate District and Harrogate Homeless Project.
This pageant of decorated beds, passengers and runners, combined with a gruelling course of 2.4 miles, is organised by volunteers from the Knaresborough Lions to raise funds to meet local charitable and community needs. A team from Raworths has competed many times, most recently in June 2024, and the event brings together colleagues to design, create and compete in the race.
We have been a member of Saint Michael’s Business 500 Club for many years. It is a community of businesses helping families living with terminal illness and bereavement now and in the future.
By being a member of the Business 500 Club, we are supporting St Michael’s Hospice strategy of service improvement and expansion that aims to offer more care to more people.
