Brightening up Christmas for our refugee partners and their families

30/1/2021

Local supporter Ann Maiden crocheted over 30 hats which are helping keep everyone warm this winter. Ann made the colourful hats while she was undergoing chemotherapy last year. We hope this year will be a happier and healthier year for her.

​We would also like to thank Anna Brady who organised collections of toys and gifts donated by staff, parents and students from Morgans and Sele schools in Hertford, and Mrs Beaumont who collected toys, games and books donated by families at Bridgewater School in Berkhamsted. Local convenors were able to deliver these together with new books for all the children and Christmas money raised in our appeal.

​

Friends and volunteers across the county called by with gifts for ‘under the tree’ for local families too, and we ran four story time sessions on Zoom over the holidays, two for older children with authors talking about their books, and two for younger children. More of these sessions are planned for each holiday, starting with a ‘bring your own bear’ session of bear stories, songs and poems for half term.
