The Harrogate Tea Rooms announced on Facebook this afternoon that they have launched their ‘paying it forward’ campaign.
Run by Carrie and Tony Wilkinson, the independent boutique tea room are aiming to raise £1,000 and are exchanging the money for meal tokens to allow those who are struggling to buy themselves a meal.

"We have a lot of support out there but are often asked ‘what can we do to help you because we live so far away?’
"We thought of an idea that we believe works for everybody – it‘s along the lines of ‘paying it forward’.”
There are two ways that you can support The Harrogate Tea Rooms to help the community, including via their JustGiving Page or by buying a heart token at the tea room.

“We want to be here for both the local and wider community and hope that this is a way for people to give back – helping us to help you.”
