Running through the heart of the village is a feeling of community, friendship and charity, and this is perhaps no better represented than through the work of the Kings Langley Good Neighbours’ Association (KLGNA).
The group provides voluntary services, such as transport to GP surgeries and hospitals, simple DIY, and a weekly lunch club for people who have needs caused by age, ill health, disability or inadequate resources.
Recently, the group partied in style at the Kings Langley Community Centre to celebrate KLGNA’s 60th anniversary.
Special guests included the association’s first-ever recruit Mary Bamford and the Mayor of Dacorum councillor Catherine McArevey.
While celebrating the impact they have had, the association is also appealing for volunteers to secure its future.
A spokesperson said: “If we want to celebrate our platinum anniversary, or even our centenary, we are going to need some new, maybe recently retired, volunteers to continue the sterling work of our organisation.
“We will soon be needing more volunteer drivers, lunch club helpers and phone handlers to pick up the baton from those of us who will soon have to retire.”
For enquiries, contact 07790 668672 and for the lunch club, contact 07527 907128.
