Opened new east wing of Le Personne Homes, Caterham
I opened the newly refurbished east wing of Le Personne Homes in Caterham. The trustees have done a great job securing funding and finishing the project in budget.
Le Personne Homes are Caterham's Almshouses for elderly Ladies in need, particularly those from Caterham-on-The-Hill. The almshouses were built in memory of Mrs Henrietta Frances Le Personne, who for many years worked for the needy and poor of the area of Caterham and Godstone. She was the first female County Councillor in Surrey, and possibly the first in England.
The homes provide a great service to Caterham – I am looking forward to going back to do a Q&A with residents in the future.
