Harpenden Ladies Circle raise £7,000 for Mencap
A big thank-you to Harpenden Ladies
Circle, who raised £7,000 for us from their gift fair at the public hall. The money will go towards sensory
and garden equipment for the children's service, the new minibus and the building fund.

Harpenden Ladies Circle present us with their cheque for £7,000.
Sheila's Retirement Do
Sheila Weatherhead retired on 29th January 2009 after 17 and a half years working as a senior support worker.
50 people joined in for lunch, celebrating lots of happy moments.

Charity Works
Harpenden Village Rotary Club made a substantial contribution for the purchase of this new MPV and also to our Building
Fund.
Right: Claire at the wheel of what is proving to be a superb vehicle.
No hands job - just press the button and the wheelchair lift goes up or down to order.
Ready for the "off"
Claire and Dan are enthusiastic about taking the children round and about now that transport
is so much easier.
There are now more trips to more places - to the delight of the children.
New Tuesday Afternoon group
Are you between 18 - 30 years of age?
We are hoping to start a new group, which members will run with support staff.
This will take place on a Tuesday afternoon between 12.30 - 5.00pm.
The idea of the group will be to choose an activity and then plan the outing to include the cost of a trip, how to get
there (using public transport where possible) and the timing of the activity.
There will be a charge of £5.00 per week to cover costs and you will need to pay the cost of the activity.
If you are interested please contact Louise or Karen on 01582 460055 ext 9.
Sponsored Dog Walk
in aid of the childrens respite unit.
On 13th August we walked along the nicky line through Rothamstead Park and back to Stairways for drinks and nibbles.
There were 10 dogs - all different breeds - and 35 people walking around with us. An excellent time was had by all, and
it was a super sight to see all the dogs off the lead enjoying themselves in the park.
