Off with the old... and on with the new!

This new sign, moving the Harpenden Trust into the 2020s, has gone up outside the Trust Centre in Southdown Road. We think you will agree that it is bright, modern and hopefully more engaging.

While the logo has changed, nothing else has and, as the words on the sign say, we are still there to support our community just as we have for more than 70 years. The new logo will grace updated information leaflets, banners and the website, which is also being upgraded.

Last year the Trust’s Care Fund supported families and individuals with grants totalling more than £100,000. In addition the Trust’s separate Community Fund makes grants to local voluntary organisations and groups for specific projects, and particularly to those organisations linked to youth, sport, education and the elderly.
