Harpenden Trust head to Homedell House for a singalong!

When a guest at the Harpenden Trust tea party found out that our volunteer Yvonne was in a choir, they were quick to snap her up and get her to gather a group of willing singers to join them at Homedell House, the retirement complex in Roundwood. On Tuesday, whilst Autumnal weather settled in, 9 volunteers and 18 residents had a joyful singalong followed by tea and cake. Not only did they all have a fabulous afternoon, Homedell House kindly put together and donated to the Harpenden Trust as a thank you – whilst we did not expect this, all the money gets put back into the community so we are thrilled to receive this.
