Update March 2026

The 2026 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

There have been several large projects over the last year. We had our boilers replaced, so hopefully no more issues with hot water or heating. This meant some inconvenience for a week and having to use oil filled radiators.

We have now replaced all the wooden windows so we should be better insulated.

The latest improvement to the House is the much-awaited refurbishment of the office and night -sleepers room. Lee is very pleased to have the flowery curtains and nets removed.

He is over the moon with his new oak desk.

Again, residents have come and gone over the year. Most recently we sadly said good bye to Tony, who had lived here happily for several years, he will be much missed.

Welcome to all our new residents and we hope you will be as happy.

Unfortunately, Caroline left us at Christmas to move to Cornwall to be near her daughter and future grandchild, we will miss her but wish her well. Hopefully she will come and visit us sometime.

We welcomed Pip this year who is a great cook and asset to the House.

Once again thankyou to all our hard -working staff who go above and beyond what we should expect of them but I know they all care very much for you and want to make sure you are happy and safe.

A very big thankyou to Richard who as a Volunteer is not paid for all the hours’ he spends here sorting out your leaks and other problems. Richard is responsible for maintenance issues, approving all the improvements in the house and monitoring the various trades people.
