Sponsored Walk - 13th September 2003

Join us for a sponsored walk at Stratfield Saye, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Wellington, on Saturday 13th September 2003.

Here is an opportunity to enjoy a private visit to the parkland at Stratfield Saye, ancestral home of the Dukes of Wellington. We shall see parts that the ordinary visitor doesn’t reach! After a short introductory talk in front of the House, our 3–mile stroll takes us first to the church, burial place of several Dukes of Wellington, and then to the 6th oldest iron bridge in England, erected in 1802.

On the way to the Wellington Monument, there are stunning views across the meadows to the House. We return to our start via the Wellingtonia Avenue, the stone bridge over the Loddon and then past Copenhagen’s Grave.

Soft drinks and tea will be provided en route, and at the end of the walk.

Full details are on the sponsorship form.

LRBT hospital enables 10 month old baby to see for the first time

“10 month old Mehrulla was brought to the LRBT hospital in Quetta because her eyelids were fused.

They could have treated her if she’d been older, but as a young child she needed a general anaesthetic to stop her moving during the operation. These facilities are not yet available in Quetta, and so Mehrulla had to travel 840 Km to Karachi.

On her arrival she was admitted to the LRBT hospital and treated free. So she was able to see Pakistan with both eyes as she travelled the 15 hour journey home.

Without the funds to travel to Karachi, or the facilities available there, it is difficult to imagine what her future would have been. As a result of the free treatment she has received a fresh start in life.”
