Volunteer packing days

We are delighted to welcome our volunteers to help pack our Warm in Winter gift bags and Bags of Kindness for older and vulnerable people, to be distributed across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire this winter. Each one filled with practical items and our Purple Pages information pack, helping to bring warmth, comfort and connection to those who need a little extra support.

Sessions range from packing hot drinks and leaflets to filling gift bags and writing messages of kindness to our recipients. It is great fun, very rewarding and suitable for individuals, teams, families and friends.
