What a brilliant day we had yesterday at Pirton Sports and Social Club for the Pirton Village Fair! Thank you to everyone who visited our stall to play a game or buy raffle tickets. You made our day!

The winners of the raffle are:

1st Prize to Ellie Tonge a TUI holiday for 2 to Spain
2nd Prize to Lucinda Rowe who will be having afternoon tea at The Farmhouse at Redcoats
3rd Prize to Ryan Roberts who won a £50 voucher for the The Vic Hitchin

Our winner of the Guess the Number of Sweets in the Jar was Verity. She guessed 520, there were 701 but she was the closest by almost 100 sweets!

There are so many people to thank for making the event a success. All the generous raffle prize donors, the organisers of the Pirton Fair and the brilliant compère who kept plugging us!, our fantastic volunteers for all their creativity and time given, everyone who spent money on tickets and games and Alistair Strathern for kindly drawing the raffle for us.

The raffle and fair jointly raised £1650!
Every penny will go to helping local homeless people. ❤️

We are so grateful for all the time Peter Warren has given to the charity over the last 25 years plus! Peter continues to give time to helping local homeless people. Thanks Peter!

Supporting and celebrating Helping Herts Homeless 🏡

Last week it was a real pleasure to visit the Sanctuary on Grove Road to speak to the fantastic staff and volunteers behind Helping Herts Homeless.

This great local organisation has been supporting the homeless locally for decades, ensuring so many have had somewhere to turn when in dire need.

It’s local volunteers who have made it all possible though, so while I was there it was great to thank and celebrate the dedication of Peter their Treasurer who recently stepped down after 25 years (!) as a trustee. It’s clear Peter’s commitment has been so important to getting them to where they are today 👏

What a fun night we had at the Christchurch Hitchin Barn Dance on Saturday! Thank you so much to Paul Arnold and Pippa for arranging the event, all the talented musicians, volunteers from Christchurch and our own fundraising team, as well as all the supporters who bought tickets. The total raised was over £800, all of which will help local homeless people. 🙏
