Local charity Helping Herts Homeless (HHH) honoured Trustee Peter Warren by naming him a Lifetime Honorary President at the HHH AGM. Councillor Val Bryant, Leader of North Herts Council presented Peter with a painting in recognition for his service as he steps down from his Trustee role.

Peter was a research scientist with ICI, and is now retired. He has been a Trustee, director and volunteer with the Charity since 2001, and was involved with the development of the services and the purchase of the Nightingale Road premises in 2006.

Owain Lister, Chair of Trustees for Helping Herts Homeless said "Peter has been an integral part of the charity since 2001 and we wanted to recognise his dedication by naming him a Lifetime Honorary President. Peter will continue to volunteer with the Charity, and we are grateful for his continued support."

Cllr Val Bryant, Leader of North Herts Council, said:  "Peter has given so much of his time and energy to Helping Herts Homeless over the years. It's fantastic to see him honoured in this way, and it's good to know that he will continue supporting the charity and those it helps."

The AGM was held at The Vic Pub in Hitchin and discussed plans for developing the North Herts Sanctuary site as well as recent and future fundraising and events.
