Thank-you to our Appeal Collectors

The Trust hosted a thank-you drop-in afternoon tea party for its 2019 Christmas Appeal collectors on Saturday, 8 February. The party was well attended by some 42 collectors and Area Organisers who were able to enjoy enjoy tea & coffee and a great range of home-made cakes and to meet the organisation team and fellow collectors. Nick Luckett expressed the gratitude of the Trust for the efforts of the collectors who are the bedrock of the Care Fund’s activities to help Harpenden residents, through its coffee mornings, befriending service, outings, Home Visitors and Youth & Schools. The 2019 collection has raised about £53,000.

The Trust is very grateful to a local company that sponsors this specific event to thank the Christmas Appeal collectors.

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…
