Mount Lodge hosted the last of CHT’s summer BBQs this week and they did a fantastic job. The food was amazing and a couple of us took a trip to the beach afterwards. Thanks you so much to all the residents and staff for all their hard work. Click here to see some pictures from the day.

This week we had our second Fundraising Committee of the year and there was a great turnout. Thank you so much to everyone who took part and it was a very productive meeting. Fundraising bids are so much stronger when they are coproduced with service users meaning involvement from our services is crucial. Click here to see some pictures from the day.

Highams Lodge held an Art Festival for the local community on 8th August 2019. This was funded by The Mayor of London’s Borough of Culture and Waltham Forest Borough of Culture 2019. Local residents joined in craft activities and Highams Lodge residents held an exhibition of their wonderful art work in their garden room. The event was a great success, with positive feedback from local residents, including asking if we could hold another one!

Happy Co-Production week! An important part of CHT’s model is beneficiaries and staff learning from one another, resulting in Co-Production being at the centre of our approach. Residents are expected to increasingly take part in community groups and work together with staff and each other to achieve a particular purpose. One of these groups is our Fundraising committee where residents and staff get the opportunity to learn about fundraising and, last week, put together two fundraising bids that will be sent out later this month. Co-Production is an invaluable process that results in services users and staff being happier and healthier as well as, most importantly, an improved overall service. Here are some pictures of what we achieved at the fundraising committee.
