We hope we gave the St Albans commuters a bit of Christmas cheer with our annual Soroptimist carol singing on Mon 3 Dec at St Albans City Station. We collected a much-needed \u00a3380 for\u00a0<\/strong>the\u00a0St Albans and Hertsmere Women\u2019s Refuge<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0\u00a0Welwyn Hatfield Women\u2019s Refuge<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We were joined again this year by a very festive Jules the dog who encouraged donations by making sure he got lots of strokes as people went by!<\/p>\n

One commuter said “thanks for what you’re doing to support the refuges – you sound great!” This year we were recorded on quite a few smart phones and some children just had to join in by singing and dancing with us which was great fun!<\/p>\n

Funding cuts and increased demand mean that Refuges need additional funding now more than ever before.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Herts Advertiser for covering our story\u00a0www.hertsad.co.uk\/news\/st-albans-soroptimists-carol-singing-1-5813657<\/a><\/p>\n

This event is timed on the closest Monday to Human Rights Day when Soroptimists all around the world take action\u00a0www.un.org\/en\/events\/humanrightsday<\/a><\/p>\n

Afterwards we headed to the nearby Ayos Turkish Restaurant for a\u00a0well earned meal. Merry Christmas everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
