WELCOME BACK!
It is now over a year since Hawthorne Trust’s Board came to the sad, but necessary, decision to close both Charton Manor and the Visiting Christian Science Nurse Service (London Field). In the intervening months the Trustees, aided by a faithful team on the ground in Charton Manor, have continued in their undiminished mission to uphold the purity of Christian Science Nursing, including training, in the South East. Indeed, we are grateful to report that Le Verger successfully ran two introductory training sessions at Charton Manor in June. All associated housekeeping and hospitality needs were graciously cared for by our Services Manager and his Team.
Whilst we continue to pray and listen for next steps, we can joyfully let you know that care needs continue to be met, albeit in small ways — with the loan of equipment here and there; the purchase of supplies for the Visiting Christian Science Nurse Service; the sharing of resources with a fellow Trust, and so on. And our on-site Team continues to maintain the house and grounds to a very high standard.
We are happy to receive requests for assistance and will meet them if at all possible. Please be in touch if we can help you in any way — for example if you need to borrow or try out nursing equipment.
This new website, www.hawthornetrustltd.co.uk , will be refreshed to bring you up to date with progress. If you would like to be involved in our further steps both in person and prayerfully, perhaps you would consider becoming a Company Member. If so, we would be delighted to hear from you at board@hawthornetrustltd.co.uk .
With love and gratitude to each and every one of you,
Board of Trustees
