A-Plan Harrogate

helps raise money for local schools A-Plan Insurance in Harrogate has launched a campaign to raise money towards laptops for schools in the local area. s part of A-Plan’s support of the A local community, the campaign focuses on helping schools, parents

and pupils at a time when they really need it. With many local pupils being home schooled, and many having to share computers, A-Plan hope to raise funds to help those who need it.

So, every time that someone calls the Harrogate branch for a quote for a new car, home, van or business insurance policy and mentions ‘IT4Schools’, A-Plan will donate £10 to the client’s preferred school, even if they don’t take out a policy. The campaign is set to run throughout Spring time.

at A-Plan, and it is now more important than ever. That’s why the team and I are delighted to be supporting the IT for schools campaign to help education in the area.

“These are challenging times for schools, parents and pupils. This idea started when we offered help to colleagues who were finding home schooling a real challenge.

Our hope is that this will go some way to offering IT support to those who really need it. We want to spread this message throughout the area because the more quote requests we get, the more we can donate.

Chris Bishop, A-Plan’s Harrogate Branch Manager said: “Being part of the local community has always been at the heart of what we do here

“Schools in Harrogate, and indeed everywhere, have been on a roller coaster ride over the past year and have had to react quickly at every turn. A-Plan is keen to support wherever it can.”

Because of Covid, A-Plan’s branches are temporarily closed to visitors (unless essential), but team members are set up and working from home and are answering calls in under 20 seconds on average.

“And it’s a real win win situation for a local business and its community” added Chris, “as we could help local people save money on their insurance and get good quality insurance advice at the same time as contributing to a very good cause, irrespective of whether a policy is taken out.”

A-Plan can be contacted on 01423 647235.

March is the start of the so-called ‘hungry gap’ where the season for many crops has finished but the new season is yet to begin. There is produce available though, and it’ll help your eco-credentials if you can incorporate some locally grown food into your cooking.

Savoy Cabbage

Heavily textured and crinkled, the inner leaves are tender and crisp. Considered the most versatile of cabbages, it can be used raw in slaws and salads or cooked in stews and stir fries.

Wild Garlic

This bulbous perennial pervades woodland in spring and is immediately identifiable by its pungent smell. Its leaves can be used in place of spinach or made into a pesto.

Rhubarb

Commonly used as a fruit, rhubarb is actually a very sour-tasting vegetable. Indeed it was rarely eaten until sugar was widely available in the UK, when it became popular in pies, puddings, jams and chutneys. In March, forced rhubarb (which is grown in the dark) is available and this is typically much less sour.

Blood Oranges

Grown overseas, blood oranges have a very short season in late winter. They can be used in any recipe in place of regular oranges but will give a darker colour and a sharper taste. Excellent in cocktails!

Monkfish

With a succulent meaty texture, monkfish is an easy fish to cook with.

It can be used in curries or fried and it will retain its shape and texture.
