17th Harpenden Brownies - Reverse Advent Calendar Challenge

We just want to say a huge well done to the 17th Harpenden Brownies! They meet at our Trust Halls and recently took part in a 'reverse advent calendar challenge' - collecting hygiene products for the Kings Pantry Foodbank. We set up drop off points for items in our buildings and a representative from the Foodbank visited the group to collect all of the donations and thank the girls for the excellent haul of goods. The girls also decorated bags and made Christmas cards to go with the donations which will be distributed to families in need across Harpenden. Brilliant work 17th Harpenden Brownies and thank you to everyone who donated!
