High Street Methodist Church Walkers and Sponsors

In September 2015, John and Christine Bristow and Roy and Doreen Swanston walked the Whitby Way from York Minster to Whitby Abbey.  The Whitby Way is a March of Witness to commemorate the Synod of Whitby, which brought together the Celtic and Roman Churches some 1400 years ago.  They took 10 days to cover the 66 miles across the Vale of York and North York Moors, whilst their Minister, Reverend Mark Hammond, who joined them towards the end of their walk, completed it in three days.

The Trust was fortunate to be chosen as recipient of 50% of the monies raised and we have received a cheque for £1,241.  Thank you so much Walkers and Sponsors.

Introducing ... Alison

16 April 2024
I began volunteering with the Harpenden Trust in 2021 at the COVID Vaccination Centre.  It was great to feel able to help in some small way during that time. When that ended, I kept my eye out for other opportunities and got in touch again when the Trust were looking for volunteers for Harpenden Library - I’d always quite fancied working in a library!  Since September 2022 I have been part of a team of around 12 volunteers who ensure the…
