About Us

In the late 1960's a meeting was attended by all the local churches in Harrogate and from this meeting it was agreed to form a charity which was registered as Harrogate Neighbours Housing Association.

The purpose was to provide a private care home for the needy elderly of Harrogate who could not afford a private

home. In early 1969 a property just a mile from the town centre of Harrogate with a acre of land became available.

The property was purchased and alterations and an extension were completed by August 1970.

The first resident moved into Heath Lodge on 1st December 1970 and by the end of the month all 30 rooms were filled.

Four years after the opening of Heath Lodge a suitable site for a second home was sought to meet the needs for sheltered housing.

In March 1976, 42 Wetherby Road was purchased. The house was extended and 10 bungalows were built in the grounds. The home was completed at the end of 1978 and tenants moved in to Greenfield Court.

Harrogate Neighbours has expanded its services during the last four years to include a home care service as well as a hot meal delivery service.

The Association is governed by a Board, who ensure that the organisation's aims and objectives are upheld and developed. The Association is led by a Chief Executive who ensures that high standards of care and support are maintained and reviewed.

Everybody who uses our services is supported by a dedicated team of skilled staff who aim to strive towards providing best value service, that is effective as well as efficient, to ensure the best level of quality customer care is provided.
