Introducing…… Frank!

Name: The Harpenden Trust

Telephone: 01582 460457

I joined the Harpenden Trust in mid-2023 after visiting the stand at the Senior’s Fair. I am a Befriender and have been assisting with various events, such as the Harpenden Carnival and the Covid-booster jabs at local GPs. I am also involved with the admin of utilities at the two Trust properties in Southdown Road. I enjoy being able to give my Befriendee the chance to get out on a regular basis; we chat about diverse subjects from football and electric cars to space travel and exploration. I like being involved with the Trust because I get to meet similar-minded volunteers and local community members.

If you have some time to spare, crave a hobby or would like to make some new friends we would love to welcome you to the Harpenden Trust. Please contact the Trust office on 01582 460457 or email [email protected] to discuss the roles we have available.
