Harpenden Trust Christmas Appeal Collection Update

The Harpenden Trust’s Christmas Appeal door-to-door collection is continuing, but Collectors will not now be returning to streets & houses to gather-in Appeal envelopes; this change is in response to the pandemic situation and the elevation of Harpenden to Tier 4 Coronavirus restrictions.

We would encourage people to support the local community and the work of the Trust’s Care Fund in AL5 by returning the Appeal envelope to one of the collection points in the town (Trust Centre; Goode Kitchen; Jelleys Meats; Barclays Bank (for Barclays customers only)), or by donating by Text, online via the Trust’s page with Virgin Giving, or direct to the Trust’s Bank account. Please Gift Aid if you can. Full details on ways of giving are available under News or Donate on the website.
