INCLUSION HAS NO OFF-SEASON
Whether you’re a sports fan, a committed gym-goer, or part of your local community sport club, it’s important that we all keep up our efforts to make sport everyone’s game year-round. Since Rainbow Laces first kicked off in 2013, over a million of you have laced up in support of LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport.
You can make a difference just by starting conversations with those around you, calling out anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment when you hear it, and raising awareness of the stigma and discrimination that LGBTQ+ people in sport still face. Countless individuals, grassroots organisations, and sports clubs are already lacing up to keep up their work for sports inclusion. We know we’re always strongest when we stand together – so join us in keeping it up. Sport can bring so many benefits to our lives – not just in terms of wellbeing, but also in the ways it brings people together. LGBTQ+ people deserve to be a part of this. We shouldn’t feel excluded just because of who we are.

NCS CHANGEMAKERS LINK WITH LOCAL CHARITY NEW BEGINNINGS
Recently, our NCS Changemakers have been focused on developing a video for
domestic abuse awareness month. As a group, they felt that it is something that isn’t talked about enough and they were desperate to change that. As a result of this, the Changemakers have partnered up with New Beginnings, an after-crisis support service for children and women who have previously been subjected to domestic abuse. The video provides different perspectives on domestic abuse and violence from young people around Harrogate. The eye-opening video is set to be released later this month and provides confidence to those people affected, that there is help out there. Keep an eye on our social media channels for this release and follow for any updates.

TOWN WALKING FOOTBALLERS ENJOY CUP ACTION!
Fresh from there successful Northern Premier League season our over 60’s walking footballers were back in action in the inaugural Cowan Cup.
The first round, which was run as a mini league saw Town face Rothwell in the first game. Despite controlling tempo and creating chance after chance it took a cool finish from Bernie O’Brien to see the lads through 1-0. In a tensely fought second game against a very strong Wakefield side, Town were unfortunate to lose by virtue of a penalty conceded late in the game. Bouncing back, Town moved onto their final game against a Leeds Titans team that were unbeaten in two years in all competitions. In arguably the game of the tournament, Harrogate managed the game superbly. Jon Hudson in goal made two big saves to keep us in it. With the game being won with a venemous Tom Robinson strike, to send Harrogate to the final against Blackburn. In a very tight final, the teams couldn’t be separated, and it finished 0-0, with the game going to penalties. Unfortunately Town lost 2-1 in the shootout. We have some of these players here at the match today! We hope that you can join us in celebrating theirs and the Walking Football Members participation and success this year.
SEASON CONCLUDES FOR OUR 50’S WALKING FOOTBALL TEAM GREAT START TO AUTUMN FOR TOWN RUNNERS
It’s been a successful season for our over 50’s Walking Footballers. Despite injury setbacks to key players during the season, the team showed huge resilience to finish the Northern Premier League season last Sunday. A 2-0 win in the final game, with goals from Richard Abbott and Neil Waite prove to be enough to see them finish third in the league, just two points off top spot. We hope to build on this next season and welcome new players who wish to join us. We currently deliver 5x sessions a week! The September success of the Great North Run, inspired the group to participate in a virtual 5/10k run in early October to raise awareness of the Harrogate Homeless project. On a beautiful evening for running about 35 of the group took on the challenge, completed it and finished with smiles on their faces and the obligatory cake in hand at the end. As if this wasn’t enough two more of our runners took on the Manchester half marathon and smashed it. Patrick McKeown who has been running with us since we started joined one of our latest recruits Neil Broadley on the day. For Neal this has been an unbelievable journey since joining us in the summer. Initially just wanting to complete a 5k, he pushed on and was part of the Harry Gator York 10k team in August. On October 9th he completed the half marathon in an impressive 2hrs 15 minutes. Neal, pictured explained, “I couldn’t have done this without the running group, I would have never dreamt of even doing a 10k, never mind a half marathon”. We aim to inspire, encourage, and support everyone in our Health and Well being programmes and give them the opportunity like Neal to achieve their dream. If you have any questions or want to get involved drop us an email: stevepattison@ harrogatetownafc.com.

The Duchy Hospital Launches Private GP Service
Do you find it difficult to see your GP at a time that is convenient for you?
Dr Jason Jones will be seeing patients at The Duchy Hospital, giving time for concerns to be discussed. We also offer a comprehensive GP led Health Screening service.
I’m very happy and excited to be joining the team at The Duchy and providing some Primary Care services. Being based within the hospital will also give me access to all the hospital’s facilities, services and consultant colleagues. This should improve the patient journey if any secondary care referrals are needed.
