Harrogate Ladies’ College raise £170 for YDMT!

October 18, 2011

Students and teachers at Harrogate Ladies’ College raised a fabulous £170 for YDMT during their Go Green Week recently.

Fundraising activities included the girls paying £1 to wear green for the day, a “No Power Hour” where the college switched the lights and computers off for an hour over lunchtime, green themed assemblies and a green lunch (not literally!).

All together the week raised a cool £170 for YDMT which will play a vital part in enabling the Trust to continue to help care for the landscape, economy and people in this very special place – the Yorkshire Dales.  Thank you so much Harrogate Ladies’ College!!

Harrogate Ladies’ College teacher Mrs Chestnutt commented “I wanted to choose a local green charity to support, and YDMT’s work really interested the girls – they particularly liked the idea of planting trees.”

Go Green Week is a national event organised by the GSA (Girls’ School Association).
