Introducing ... Alison

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 Library Express service is available on a Wednesday afternoon.  Although the service we can offer to the public is limited, people often tell us how appreciative they are that the library is open, which is lovely.

I also help behind the scenes at the Trust. My background is in IT, and so I am also part of a team that looks after some of our IT systems, helping people to access and use them. Other volunteers in the Trust may know me as the person who resets their forgotten passwords!

I’m very proud to be part of The Harpenden Trust. It really is an amazing local organisation, in the support gives to so many in our community in numerous different ways, and the opportunities it gives people to get involved as a volunteer.

If you would like to get involved with volunteering and join our ever-growing team please contact the Harpenden Trust office on 01582 460457 or email [email protected].
