This is James the fundraising officer, and I can’t quite believe it’s been a full year that I’ve been working at The Rainbow Centre – and what an incredible place it is to be.

From The Rainbow Ball at The Scarborough Spa last year (and again this year!) to the wonderfully busy Harvest and Christmas seasons — plus so much in between — it’s been a truly special 12 months.

And we’re not slowing down…

This year is packed with fundraising opportunities, including:

Our annual Scarborough 3 Peaks

Whitby to Scarborough Bike Ride

The legendary Yorkshire 3 Peaks

The challenge of Tough Mudder

And I’m sure The Human Fruit Machine will be making a few appearances throughout 2026 too!

A huge thank you to all the businesses and individuals across Scarborough and surrounding areas who have helped make this year so memorable. Your support truly makes a difference.

If you’ve got a fundraising idea you’d like to explore — or would like to get involved in what we’ve already got planned for 2026 and beyond — I’d love to chat.

Here’s to another amazing year ahead!
