Trip to London

The Trust was recently invited to take part in the Small Business Saturday event in London.  One of the people we support, Andrew Pickthall went to the event to represent the Trust along with Leah Moore from our marketing team. 
To make the most of his visit to London, Andrew took the opportunity to sight see whilst visiting the city.  Having taken the train to London Victoria, they took the tube to Westminster station where they took in the sights of Buckingham Palace.  Walking to Parliament Square, Andrew enjoyed seeing the statues, including the one of Winston Churchill.  

The event they were attending was hosted at the House of Lords, where they entered via Black Rod’s Garden to the Cholmondeley room and terrace which overlooks the River Thames.  With a drink's reception and buffet, Andrew enjoyed tucking into the food.  He was very confident telling people about the Trust and what he does at the Country Centre.  There were several speeches throughout the event, including one from The Rt Hon. the Lord Young of Graffham CH DL.   

After the event at the House of Lords they made their way back to Victoria Station for the journey home, where one of Andrew’s highlights of day was being treated to a Burger King for all his help during the visit that day.
