PACKING DATES FOR 2022/23 COMING SOON

Please help us to help older people keep warm this winter

The last 18 months have brought about changes to all our lives. 

Here at Small Acts of Kindness ‘HQ’ we are looking ahead with positivity to being able, once again, to help some of the most vulnerable older people in our community keep warm and feel less lonely and isolated. 

Now all we need to make everything happen is your help.

This year, our packing days will take place at our wonderful new building in North Watford (WD24). There is lots of space and plenty of parking on site too.
