A Lovely Letter from Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity
September 17th, 2020
Last updated: June 25th, 2024
Back in April, the first full month of lockdown due to Covid-19, the team at Robinsons Facilities Services decided to help out in the local community with donations and supporting the vulnerable.
One of the things we did was to donate surplus uniforms to the Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity and the Harrogate Homeless Project. This included sweatshirts, t-shirts and fleeces.
Our Sales and Marketing Administrator, Tom Bland, was on hand to deliver the uniforms to the hospital.
This week we received a lovely letter from the Community and Events Fundraiser at the Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity and we wanted to share their kind words:
“On behalf of Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity (HHCC) it is my pleasure to thank you for your very kind donation of clothing for patients here at Harrogate and District NHS foundation Trust. Your support is very much appreciated during this very difficult time.
Our charity funds specialist equipment, training and services; going above and beyond the provision of the NHS to help improve treatment and facilities. We raise funds for all the departments and services at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust for the benefit of all patients and their families.
COVID-19 is causing many challenges and all of our staff here are working extremely hard during this unprecedented time showing their wonderful NHS spirit! All our colleagues are very grateful for the generosity they are receiving from the local community and donations such as yours are making a huge difference!
Thank you so much for your wonderful support of Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity, we are extremely grateful for your kindness.”
Robinsons Facilities Services are delighted to have been able to help support the Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 came into force in January 2023. In the wake of the Grenfell Inquiry, there have been many changes made to legislation to try and make residential buildings safer. The changes come in the form of regulations made under article 24 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (Fire Safety Order).
The Government’s website explains that “The Fire Safety Order applies to all premises including workplaces and the common parts of all multi-occupied residential buildings.” Already, there are restrictions and rules in place for commercial buildings, and the need to have a risk assessment completed and regularly updated, but this will mean that the responsibilities are much more clear.
Let’s get into what the new Fire Safety regulations mean, and some of the key takeaways and work that may now be required to stay compliant.
