Hi All
As you will have seen from my recent newsletters, the Abbots Langley Gilbert & Sullivan Society are holding a concert on Zoom tonight at 7.30pm to raise funds for all people living with MND in our area. They are doing this in support of one of their members who is living with MND and is also a member of our branch.
The link to watch the concert is:
Should you wish to attend, we ask for a donation to be made to the special page set up on our Local Giving site at the following link:
I appreciate that this is quite short notice, but I only received the link for the concert last night. However, should you be unable to join us tonight but wish to view the concert another day, this would be fine as it will remain on You Tube for a while.
Thanks and regards

WINTER APPEAL FOR FUNDS - December 2020
For those who have been on our mailing list for some time, you will know that at the end of each year we send out a Christmas Appeal for funds. This year, however, we have changed the name of this appeal and are calling it a Winter Appeal due to the extraordinary times we are living in at present. By doing this, we will be extending the appeal through the entire winter in the hope of raising more funds than usual. This, unfortunately, is necessary as all our face to face fundraising has had to stop since April and we do not know when this will start again. The South Herts Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association is completely self funding and, as you know, we try to support everyone who needs our help both financially and practically. Fundraising is becoming more and more difficult as the Covid pandemic continues. We hope you will be able to help us through this difficult time with a financial donation. The smallest contribution would be so very much appreciated.
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas & New Year and hope you can enjoy this with your family and friends as best you can during these difficult times.

If you have not donated to us before and completed a Gift Aid form, we urge you to complete and return the form (you can get it by clicking on the icon below) to us to claim an additional 25p for every £1 donated from HM Revenue and Customs.

A message about events
We continue to follow Government and National Office guidelines during the pandemic. All contact with people living with MND, their carers and families is by telephone and via virtual meetings.
This includes our monthly Get Togethers, further details can be found by clicking on the upcoming events link below.
We very much hope to be able to see you all face to face sometime next year - hopefully in the Spring. For now the priority has to be the safety of people living with MND in our area, their families and carers as well as our branch members and supporters.
Take Care
