This column was written before the Tier 4 rules, and amended Christmas rules, were announced on Saturday Christmas is a time for giving and this year that is something that we have seen in spades in Watford. So many of you have been generous with time, donations and support for others in our community – thank you for everything you have contributed to Watford! To keep up the momentum, we have launched the Laps to Lapland fundraising initiative. We are asking the people to collectively cycle 6,307km, the distance of a return journey from Watford to Lapland, and make a donation to the Watford Helps Covid-19 Appeal. There are plenty of ways you can get involved, by renting a Beryl Bike, using your own bike, or even on an exercise bike in one of our gyms. If every Watford resident donated just £1 it would make a huge difference to the support we can provide to our local charities that have done so much for the community this year.
