An introduction by Christine Jones

Our East Herts Group was started 35 years ago by Mrs Felicia Stuart-Williams, who is now aged 91 and still an Honorary Member.

Each year we organise four functions inspired by activities we hope our friends will enjoy. Our regular events are a quiz  night with a supper, a tennis tournament and a bridge day. The fourth event is changeable; for example, recently we held a summer lunch in our Chairman’s garden, which raised £1,900. There were garden-themed stalls and, luckily, the weather was sunny! We do not raise our funds for specific crises, but entrust UNICEF to spend the money where it is most needed.

If you would like more information about any of the groups in England or would like to set up your own, please email groups@unicef.org.uk or phone 020 7375 6110 for further information. New members are always welcome.
