Au Revoir Evelyn We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Evelyn George on 29th July 2018. Evelyn was a much loved and active member of the Fellowship having joined us over 38 years ago. She held Branch and Group posts in the Brighton and Sussex area and was one of our longest serving Board Directors when she stood down in 2016. An accomplished pianist and dancer, Evelyn wrote the music and lyrics to the Fellowship song which we have printed here as a mark of our love and respect:

We walked the Circle Line A team made up of staff, volunteers and Board Directors, successfully completed our 2018 fundraising challenge and walked over 15 miles following the route of London Underground’s Circle Line. The walk started at Embankment Station and finished in the Westminster area and was in aid of raising funds to support our befriending services. So if you’d like to make a donation then please use the form on Page 9.
