Two meetings looking at the future of Friendship House in Hatfield will take place tonight.
The elderly day centre was forced to close as the charity could not raise donations to fund its staffing and operating costs.

The charity currently has a lease from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, paying £130 in rent annually, but it is required to make sure the building is operated only as a day centre for the elderly.
