Care Fund News

Name: The Harpenden Trust
Address: Harpenden Trust Centre, 90 Southdown Road, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5 1PS, United Kingdom
Telephone: 01582 460457

This month the Trust has supported 80 Harpenden pensioners with generous contributions to their utility bills, totalling approximately £20,000. This money comes from the Trust's Care Fund and every year a similar amount of money is earmarked for allocating in this way. With rising fuel bills and budgets under strain, it is no surprise that our busy utilities team receives lots of requests for financial assistance.

If you know a pensioner who struggles to pay their household bills, please do let us know and we will see what we can do to support them. Contact our office on 01582 460457 between 10.00am - 12noon on weekdays, or email [email protected].
