Statement from The Harlow Chocolate Run

“ON behalf of The Chocolate Run Trustees,  I would like to confirm that for the first time in 20+ years, The Chocolate Run are unable to host a Christmas Haven for Harlow’s Street homeless and vulnerable housed from 23rd December 2020 until 1st January 2021.  

After much consideration and discussion, the TCR Trustees have reluctantly made this decision after reading the most up to date National Government Guidelines (link below) outlining their advice, guidance and recommended best practice to prevent the possible spread of Covid-19 and promote the continued good health of our service users and charity volunteers throughout the Christmas period.

“TCR would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our regular Sunday Drop-In and Christmas Haven Volunteers for their understanding and support of this decision and to wish them, their families and the Harlow Community, their continued good health and a safe and happy Christmas.”
