Our Partnership
HCNS is a collaboration between between several Herts based charitable organisations, each bringing their own area of expertise to the programme.
See below for more info on each member.
Age UK Hertfordshire
At the start of WWII, the National Council for Social Services set up an Old People’s Welfare Committee to support older people evacuated from London and other cities. The Hertfordshire Old People’s Welfare Council took on the work and continued after the war, registering as a charity in 1966 and then becoming Age Concern Hertfordshire and then Age UK Hertfordshire.
British Red Cross
The British Red Cross was founded in 1870 and provided humanitarian services during the Franco-Prussian War. During the World Wars, the Red Cross was active in Hertfordshire providing nurses, hospitals, courses and supporting refugees, evacuees, the wounded and homeless. The British Red Cross operates under a Royal Charter granted in 1997.
