Helping Herts Week is one special week in July when Hertfordshire comes together to make an even bigger difference for local children and young people.
During the week, every pound raised through new fundraising events and challenges for our 12 charity partners is matched. This means your impact is doubled at no extra cost to you.
From community events and workplace challenges to individual fundraisers and bold new ideas, this is your chance to get involved in something bigger. Whether you’re hosting an event, taking on a personal challenge, or donating to someone taking part, Helping Herts Week turns local generosity into county-wide change.
