Today we pause to remember the millions who gave their lives in the First World War. At the 11th hour of the 11th day, we fall silent to acknowledge their courage and sacrifice. Lest we forget.
It’s Trustees’ Week, and we’d like to say a big thank you to Asif Patel, who marks ten years as a Foundation Governor this year 💜Asif joined the Court of Governors in 2016. He’s a Croydon boy who went to school here, and he wanted to use his skills to help his local community thrive. In our latest article, Asif shares how he makes time for volunteering, what he’s brought to the Foundation, and the highlights of his decade on the Court, from steering us through the pandemic to supporting the opening of a new school in Hyderabad. He also explains how the role keeps him grounded.Thank you, Asif, for your support and guidance. Read his story in full here: johnwhitgiftfoundation.org/trustees-week-asif-patel/
Reaching 100 really is something to celebrate. Happy birthday, Harold 🥳 We will add our best wishes to those he has received from King Charles.We recently enjoyed a cuppa and a chat with Harold as he told us about his life. He shared memories of wartime schooling, his first job, his long career in horticulture, and, of course, his family. It's so important to capture stories like Harold's, and we're delighted he has allowed us to share some of his recollections.
