The money will go to Watford and Three Rivers Trust, which runs a welcoming space every Thursday from 12pm to 6pm out of The Barn in Watford House Lane, Watford.

Jo Clark, the trust’s wellbeing support worker, said: “To have backing from somebody that big means so much.

“We jumped at the chance to help get our name out there.”

The hub, which serves hot meals, tea and coffee and houses a food bank, has had an estimated 388 people visit over six weeks.

But like many organisations it is struggling. Ms Clark added: “We are hoping for some donations and food. Local businesses are helping but we need more.”

The hub will accept donations on Thursdays, or you can email joanneclark@w3rt.org for more information.
