🎄⭐ Christmas Present Appeal 2026 ⭐🎄

Today we are launching our Christmas Present Appeal 2026 and inviting the wonderful Harpenden community to help make Christmas special for local children and young people.

For many families, Christmas can be a really difficult time.
Together, we can help ensure that children aged 0-18 years have something to open on Christmas morning.

How you can help: Donate a new, unwrapped gift for a child or young person aged 0-18.

Donations can be dropped off at: The Salvation Army Leyton Green, Harpenden, AL5 2TG

Deadline: Monday 14th December 2026

Every gift, no matter how big or small, can bring joy, hope and a reminder that somebody cares.

If you would like to support the appeal in other ways, you can also donate via our JustGiving page or purchase a gift through our Amazon Wish Lists using the QR code on the poster.

Thank you for helping us bring a little Christmas magic to local families this year. 🙏

Please share this post to help us reach as many people as possible.

When we lift our eyes above our circumstances, we are reminded that our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

What a great thing this is to help you look and feel the bees knees going for your interview. Timpson’s does so many good things.

Reminder that if you're unemployed, Timpson will dry-clean your interview outfit for free (at 500 locations). You don't need a voucher, simply ask at the counter 👔

Sometimes it is easy to become weighed down by worry about what lies ahead.

Jesus invites us to look at something as simple as the birds around us. They don't know what tomorrow will bring, yet God sees them, cares for them and provides for them.

Whatever you are facing this week, remember that you are not unnoticed or forgotten by God.

May we learn to place our worries into God's hands and trust in His loving care. 🙏

Kindness. Fairness. Justice. Compassion. Community.

Our Verse of the Week reminds us that these shouldn't just be words.

They should shape the way we treat one another.

Jesus calls us to treat others as we would want to be treated ourselves, with kindness and compassion, but also fairly and justly.

This week, let's all ask ourselves:

Am I being kind?
Am I treating people fairly?
Can I help someone who needs support?
Am I showing others that they matter?

A fairer, kinder world begins with each one of us.🙏
