While the national media a few weeks ago majored on the soaring cost of school uniforms for those on their way to public school – figures of £1,500 and more were mentioned – the struggle for some families to kit out their children for the new term in Harpenden’s schools…
Harpenden Trust was grateful to receive an amazing £2,000 from the organisers of the Southdown Festival in September – that was half of the total raised by the festival.
The Harpenden Trust’s familiar Christmas Appeal will be dropping onto your doormat shortly. Please give generously so that we can continue to support individuals and families in our own town who are finding it difficult to make ends meet.
The Trust has a new chairman. Richard Nichols, who has been a non-executive director since the spring, succeeded Roger Livesey at the annual general meeting of the Trust on October 30, 2019.
Harpenden Trust’s welcoming doors have been spruced up for the winter – thanks to some nifty brushwork by the manager of Sainsbury's store in the town, Gary Watkin, along with colleagues AJ Kerr and Dan Moltes (right).
