Charity News
We’ve got some great news from our local charities this month.
- Community Alliance Broxbourne and East Herts AGM: The recent Community Alliance Broxbourne and East Herts AGM was an inspiring event. Volunteer awards were presented to individuals and charities, and the group’s Chair, Jan Wing, stepped down after 14 years.
- Stargardt’s Connected: One of the volunteer award winners, Bhavna, has kindly shared her incredible family story with us. Bhavna’s family went from thinking their son Ethan needed glasses to setting up Stargardt’s Connected, the first and only Stargardt’s charity in the UK. Stargardt’s Connected supports those affected by Stargardt’s disease, an inherited degenerative eye disease for which there is no current cure or treatment.
