Winter 2022 Newsletter From the Harpenden Trust

This is a bumper edition of our Winter 2022 Newsletter which contains articles on the Harpenden Trust's many activities in recent months. This edition particularly focusses on the work of the Care Fund in helping those in Harpenden deal with the current cost of living crisis.

There are also three pages covering the many initiatives the Wellbeing Hub and Team have established to support mental health and wellbeing in Harpenden.

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 its volunteers in all the Trust does.

We hope you enjoy reading it. You can access it by clicking on the link here.

Please share as widely as you can - with friends, family and neighbours. It all helps the Trust raise the awareness of the local community to the work of the Harpenden Trust - particularly as this edition coincides with the Christmas Appeal 2022 going out to homes in Harpenden.
