NLT Run along the Thames – Monday 31st May

Posted on May 28, 2021May 28, 2021 by NLT

Because the Vitality London 10000 event that we were hoping to join is not able to take place in London on the May 31st Bank Holiday, we decided to have our own mini event, led by one of our trustees who runs a bit. So on Monday 31st May we will be gathering in Maidenhead to run along the Thames - either to Marlow, or for 5 kilometres and then turn round and come back to the start. Joining this 10k run will be our Trustee Ian Beech, his son Joseph, my son Matthew, my wife Julie, and our frien...

We will post some pictures here when they arrive, but don't be slow to order as we e...

Phillip cared for the sick too ……

Posted on April 16, 2021April 16, 2021 by NLT

The nation will be saying goodbye to Prince Phillip this Saturday. He was a man who had a heart for the ‘common man’ and reached out in various ways to try and make their lives better. In 1956, for example, the Queen and Prince Phillip visited Nigeria. Whilst there they visited a Leper colony. They did so, not simply to visit Commonwealth citizens suffering from leprosy but more significantly to allay the widespread, irrational fear that was attached then (and often now) to any physical...
