At Applegate Properties, we believe in more than just finding your perfect home. We're deeply committed to supporting our community and the incredible charities that make a difference in the lives of many. That's why we’re honoured to join in celebrating the International Day of Charity on 5th September, a global reminder of the power of giving and the impact it can have on those who need it most.
Recognised by the United Nations, the International Day of Charity was established to raise awareness and mobilise people around the world to help others through volunteer work, donations, or simply by spreading the word. It’s a day that encourages kindness and highlights the vital role that charitable organisations play in addressing some of society’s most pressing issues, from healthcare and education to hunger and homelessness.
Here in Holmfirth and Huddersfield, we are lucky to have a number of wonderful charities that tirelessly support our local community. One such charity, which is especially close to our hearts at Applegate Properties, is the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, a fantastic local organisation doing life-changing work.
As part of our ongoing community efforts, we are proud to champion and support the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, a charity that offers incredible support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families. Based in Huddersfield, their care not only brings comfort to those in need but also creates unforgettable memories for the families they support. It’s more than a hospice – it’s a beacon of hope.
Throughout the year, the hospice organises various fundraising events, and there are always ways for local residents and businesses alike to get involved. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply raising awareness, there are plenty of ways to help make a difference. The work they do truly embodies the spirit of charity and community, and we couldn’t be prouder to advocate for their cause.
There are countless ways you can make a difference on International Day of Charity, both globally and right here in our local area. Here are a few ideas:
- Donate: Charities like the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice rely on generous donations to continue their vital work. Even a small contribution can go a long way in supporting the services they provide.
- Volunteer: Giving your time is one of the most rewarding ways to give back. Whether you help out at a local charity event or volunteer your skills, your contribution can have a real and lasting impact.
- Raise Awareness: Sometimes, spreading the word can be just as valuable as donating money. Sharing the stories of charities that matter to you, like Forget Me Not, helps shine a light on their work and encourages others to get involved.
At Applegate Properties, we know that strong communities are built on the kindness and generosity of their people. Whether it’s neighbours supporting one another or local businesses coming together to uplift causes like Forget Me Not, charity plays a crucial role in the fabric of Holmfirth and Huddersfield.
