The 3 Churches Benefice is supporting the National Day of Reflection on 23 March, the first anniversary of the UK lockdown, to commemorate this tragic loss of life and to stand together with everyone who’s grieving.

Organised by Marie Curie, the National Day of Reflection looks to reflect on our collective loss, support those who’ve been bereaved, and hope for a brighter future.

Join us at St Mary the Virgin, St Margarets for a Midday Service of Reflection. It will be a short service of prayer, music and reflection.

Everyone welcome!

Rev’d Dr Sarah Forrest

Our ambition for the Awards is to recognise and celebrate inspirational people engaged in activities that enhance and protect the Hertfordshire countryside and its rural communities.

After pausing our awards in 2021 due to the pandemic, we are delighted that the CPRE Hertfordshire Awards are back. With a closing date of 31st May 2022, we would love to receive nominations for projects which

  • connect people with the countryside and their local green spaces
  • promote rural life and ensure that communities can thrive
  • improve or protect the environment

Nominees might be volunteer-based projects or events, community groups, individuals, or small businesses.

And we have an exciting new category, ‘Made in Herts’ which will recognise excellence in sustainable farming and local foods, products using local materials, or traditional craftspeople and artists, in particular working in rural areas or with rural themes.

We also hope to make an Award for an outstanding project or activity run by or on behalf of young people (up to the age of 21) in the categories above.
