We held the first Community Open Meeting since 2019 last Thursday afternoon, giving those staying here for Wellbeing Week a chance to give feedback on how the week had been, thoughts on the running of the Centre and ideas for future events. It was really well attended so thank you to all those who came and contributed. We plan to hold one every week for those here for the next three weeks plus we have the BCC Open Meeting on Saturday 20th August at 11.30am.

We recently heard the sad news that Graham Allbright, a long term member of the Community, passed away on Christmas Eve. Graham had had a bad fall and was being cared for by the staff at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow until the end. There will be a service of thanksgiving to celebrate the life of Graham, who was always strong and reliable in life as in his faith. It was Graham's wish that his funeral should be simple and attended by his immediate family and close friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with Norma and the rest of their family. We give thanks for all that Graham contributed to Othona.
