A memorable day was experienced yesterday as Interactive Games Consoles, used to great benefit by patients living with dementia, were handed over to Willow Court at Harpenden Trust's new premises in Southdown. The construction of the boards had been organised by two charities, Remap and Men's Sheds, and financed by the Harpenden Trust Community Fund. It was an excellent example of charities working together to support a most deserving cause. Sarah Holmes, Head of Wellbeing at the Harpenden Trust, attended and further opportunities for working together in the future were identified, increasing the already substantial support given by the Trust to disadvantaged people of all ages in Harpenden.
Michelle Tramiro, Activities Coordinator at Willow Court, commented: "Thank you to the Harpenden Trust on behalf of Willow Court in Harpenden for their funding and support on completion of our memory boards. Without their funding this would not have been possible. Helping to support and enhance the lives of people living with dementia here at Willow Court."
