Spread Love This Valentine’s Day: Befriend Someone in Need

Valentine’s Day is a time for love and connection, but not everyone has someone to share it with.
This year, why not spread kindness by volunteering as a befriender? Learn more about what it takes to be a befriender from Sonia Evans who works at Watford & Three Rivers Trust, one of our partners.

Herts Inclusive Theatre are looking for volunteers!
Herts Inclusive Theatre (HIT) is a charity with a mission to make theatre inclusive to all. Running weekly sessions for children, teens, and adults during term time, HIT operates across five locations in Hertfordshire and one in North London. Volunteering with HIT could see you helping to run sessions that include drama games, script work, and devising, or you could be helping to stage a performance at venues such as The Old Town Hall or the Gordon Craig Theatre.
We’ve put on productions of Hairspray, Grease, and shows written by the participants themselves in recent years, just to name a few. All our sessions and performances are designed to be accessible and inclusive so anyone and everyone can join in – including you! HIT would welcome volunteers at any of our locations: Watford, Stevenage, Hertford & Ware, Harrow, and Borehamwood, but we are currently in particular need of volunteers for our Hemel Hempstead group, which runs on a Saturday morning.
To be a volunteer with HIT, you need to be enthusiastic, empathetic and share our love for making accessible theatre. We will provide you with all the training you’ll need. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, contact [email protected] . If you’d like to learn more about HIT, visit our website: https://hit-theatre.org.uk/ or go to our GoVolHerts Profile page

"We are delighted to launch our new Hertfordshire Health Walks May – August 2024 Timetables.
There are more than 100 walking opportunities listed, including many walks for people who are unaccustomed to walking or who are returning to exercise after illness or injury. And, for those working or just busy on the weekdays, we have several summer evening walks and our wonderful Sunday walks programme in Dacorum. As some walk information may have changed (i.e. starting points, day, time or grade etc), please be sure to check the timetable for any minor changes to the walks.
All our walks are FREE and are graded between 20 to 30 minutes (First Steps) and up to 90 minutes (Grade 4) unless otherwise stated, whilst Grade 4+ progression walks can however last up to 2 hours.
Don't forget, you can register online or turn up 15 mins before your first walk to complete a New Walker Form.
We are also always looking for more volunteers to join our wonderful volunteer teams across all of the walks. So if this is something you are interested in, please do let us know. The more volunteers we have, the more different graded walks we can bring in to suit a range of abilities. Our next training is on the 10th June in Hemel Hempstead.
If you would like any more information about the walks or volunteering, please call us on 01992 555888, Monday to Thursday 09:00 to 14:00, or email [email protected]
We look forward to seeing you on your next walk with us.
All the best
Claire, Kim and Marie"
