St. Edmunds Charity are sad to say that one of our long-standing trustees Glenn Wareing has now stepped down from his role but we thank him for the commitment, support and advice he has given to the charity over the years.

With Glenn stepping down it left St. Ed's with a vacancy to fill but we are pleased to say that we have Gayle Bradbury joining us as a new trustee.

Over the past four weeks we have had two successful move-ons to independent and semi-independent accommodation, and we have welcomed two new residents to fill those voids that those departures created.

Over the next six weeks we will be facilitating two client workshops, one on Cuckooing Awareness, and the other on the benefits of meaningful daytime / evening activities such as education, training, volunteering, and employment.

Four of the self-contained flats at the Resettlement Project were completely

redecorated prior to four new residents moving in.

Six new residents in total have moved into St. Edmunds Charity since the end of June, and we are pleased to say that they have all settled in nicely.

A member of our staff team facilitated a Fire Safety Awareness group work session with our residents at the end of July.
