Harpenden Trust Activity Club - New Volunteering Opportunities

The Harpenden Trust is planning to expand our client activities but will need some extra help.  We are witnessing more social isolation and loneliness among the elderly so want to offer more opportunities for our clients to get out and meet other people.  From afternoon teas to shopping trips and films, from pub lunches to garden centres and other venue visits, each activity will have its own dedicated team of volunteers.  There are a variety of ways in which to get involved as a volunteer - more details are available in the poster.  We'd love to hear from you - whether you can help out once a month, or on a more frequent basis.  Please call 01582 460457 or email [email protected].
