Today Judy and I drove to Treloars College to accompany,
along with many other Masters and their Consorts, the Lord Mayor and Lady
Mayoress on their annual visit to Treloars College.
And what a humbling and uplifting day it was.
Humbling because, in truth, it was a reminder to us all of
our own good fortune in life ; uplifting because the caring love and professionalism
of the 800 staff at Treloars who nurture and develop the 170 severely disabled
children who attend the College was inspirational to witness.
We visited a class for Primary age children, and a
Residential House for Secondary School age children. It was very interesting to have an
opportunity to talk over lunch to members of the teaching staff about their work at the
College.
This was followed in the afternoon by a performance by some
of the children of an abridged version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the
theatre. We were hugely impressed by the achievement of the pupils in the
production.
I am very pleased that, as Water Conservators, we support
such a worthwhile charity
