H.A.D Volunteer Appreciation Week

23rd -29th November 2020

We have decided to host our very own volunteer appreciation week. Normally we like to get together to say thank you in person but due to the Covid 19 restrictions this year it has not been possible. We would like to share with you some posts and pictures and thank all our past and present volunteers.

There are not enough words to describe how amazed and grateful we are for the dedication and generosity of all of you who have given their time and support to our charity in a variety of roles over the years.

Clubs, classes and events would not be possible without you the our army of ‘HAD Hero’ Volunteers; none of the work we do would be possible!

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to say we appreciate the support of each and every one of you.

Thank you

The H.A.D Team ♡

Could you be a H.A.D Hero?

Be A HAD Hero

Throughout November & December 2020 we will be running our first online fundraising campaign, we would love you to be involved Be a HAD Hero.

Normally we enjoy going out in the community to meet supporters & host lots of fun events from quizzes, raffles, visit schools, BBQs and organising family day outs all with the aim to raise funds for the future of Havering Association for People with Disabilities.

This year has been a strange year for us all and following Government Guidelines cancelled all our fundraising events. We have still been amazed by the generosity of the community for thinking of Havering Association for People with Disabilities during these unprecedented times. Jacob, Ollie & Darcie ran 30 km and raised nearly £900 for us back in June. Sam climbed the equivalent of Ben Nevis 4413f t all to raise donations for H.A.D. The wonderful Harold Hill knitting ladies knitted their way to raise us over £1000.

During November & December we are hoping to meet more HAD Heroes do you fancy taking on a challenge of your own and raise money for a wonderful local charity?

If you are interested please drop us an email [email protected] we would love to hear all about your journey. Created and share your own fundraiser page (we are here if you would like any helps)

These have been crazy times and the team at H.A.D. have been impressed and grateful for the support we have received from clients, the community and volunteers. We have been working hard to check in our clients well being and help deliver essential items including medicine and shopping. We have also taken joy in delivering non essential items including colouring books, pens, pencils, bingo sheets for a virtual bingo games, puzzles and books.
