Dear Supporters of Haven First, We are delighted to announce some exciting developments at Haven First havenfirst.org.uk/news

Last week one of our team visited the #cowmusem in Amsterdam who kindly donated a cow to Haven First. It's on display at reception in our Stevenage Hostel. Do you have any suggestions on what we should name it? #Homeless #Homelessness #Stevenage #Baldock #Hitchin #NorthHerts

Yesterday the team from UCLH came to do checks for blood borne viruses for our residents in #Stevenage & #NorthHerts We linked in with Stevenage Council & @stevengepolice to offer this service to as many people as possible. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.

We had an AMAZING day at our #OneYMCATogether Conference with 275 of our incredible staff, volunteers and trustees 🤩 Hearing some incredible stories from service users and guest speaker Elliott Rae, showcasing the fantastic work from all those at One YMCA! 🥰
