North Watford Labour

31/10/2024

Today, my daughter and I had the privilege of once again joining Matt Turmaine MP for Watford to volunteer with Small Acts of Kindness a cause I am support for many years. Together, we packed winter warmer bags that will bring warmth and comfort to those facing the colder months alone.

In the group photo, I’m pictured with the inspiring Lynne Misner , whose commitment to this cause is truly heart warming.

Volunteering with Small Acts of Kindness is an annual act for us, but my support runs year-round. This charity makes a real difference, spreading kindness and support to so many in our community.

Thank you to everyone involved for making a difference, one small act at a time. You can find out more the the work on: https://www.smallactsofkindness.co.uk/
