We are delighted to invite you to help pack gift bags that will be given to local vulnerable older people when they attend to have their Covid vaccination. 

Our new project ‘Bags of Kindness’ in partnership with the teams at Hertfordshire County Council’s Adult Care Services and HertsHelp has the contents for 3000 gift bags ready and waiting to be packed.

We need your help to make this happen and to bring a smile and kindness to older people across the county when they receive their Covid vaccine. Many of whom are feeling more than a bit lonely and isolated right now.

We have all the gifts and the bags and all we need now is you!

 

Please use the Eventbrite link below to book a session.

 

PLEASE NOTE: We want to get these bags packed and out to the vaccination centres as soon as possible. Therefore, there will not be a daily limit on the number of bags packed. This means we might have to cancel later packing sessions, if all the bags are packed sooner. We appreciate your understanding.

 

Please read the following before booking

1. Bookings are for ONE person per table. If you are coming with a family member from your household, then please book 2 tables. This enables us to limit the number of people in the building at each session.
2. All attendees will be required to wear a mask at all times.
3. Your safety and wellbeing are really important to us. Therefore, to ensure that the packing sessions are as Covid-safe as we can possibly make them, there will be a limit of 10 tables with 1 volunteer per table, per session.
4. Current Government advice is that if you are clinically extremely vulnerable you should only volunteer from home.

The venue will be on Croxley Business Park and the full address will be confirmed once we have received your registration.

Full details about the safety measures will be sent to you with the confirmation of your place. Attendance is by pre-booking only and unfortunately, we cannot accept any attendance that is not registered in advance

 

Thank you for your support – we could not do this without you. We are really looking forward to seeing you and have plenty of biscuits, chocolates and hot drinks ready. Just bring yourself and dress warmly – it can get a little chilly in the warehouse!

 

If you would like any additional information, please call us on 01923 372717 or email [email protected]

 

We look forward to seeing you soon
