Harpenden Trust Summer 2023 Newsletter

We are delighted to announce our Summer 2023 Newsletter This latest edition contains articles on our many activities in recent months.

This edition particularly focusses on the Community Halls, including a pull-out guide to all the activities currently taking place at the Trust Halls and the Trust Centre. There are also 3 pages covering the many community projects in Harpenden supported by the Community Fund, as well as features on the work of the Care Fund and the Wellbeing Hub.

We have got reports on our recent Open Day, Seniors Fair and The King’s Coronation. We also meet our trustees and some of our volunteers.

The newsletter again highlights some of the many benefits the work of the Harpenden Trust brings to the Harpenden community, and the essential role of all our volunteers in all we do. We hope you enjoy reading it.

Please do share as widely as you can - with friends, family and neighbours. It all helps us raise the awareness of the Harpenden Trust and our work in the Harpenden community. It can also be viewed on our website and via our social media.

We have also printed some copies which we will distribute in Harpenden, starting with from our stall at Harpenden Carnival, so do encourage your friends to drop by the stall and pick one up.
