Moved by the amazing work with senior citizens by Blackfriars Settlement when they called us in for an urgent EPC survey last Friday. They are a truly inclusive hub empowering their local community - I usually post pretty pictures of the exteriors of my client's buildings but here, more than anywhere - it's whats going on inside that counts.

We had the pleasure of hosting the brilliant team from Amwins Global Risks at our Crusoe Club for the visually impaired. They didn’t just cook a fantastic meal – they brought wine, chocolate, and a real sense of occasion. After lunch, they ran a quiz that got everyone involved and buzzing. A big thank you to AMWINS for their energy and commitment. You made a real difference. #Volunteers #CommunitySupport #BlackfriarsSettlement #Gratitude #PositiveAgeing #AgeingWellSouthwark #MaryWardCentre

Celebrating Jenny Adams' remarkable artistry! At 92 years young, Jenny's creative spirit continues to shine brightly as she returns to her passion for painting after recovering from a fall. Now, her beautiful artworks adorn the hoardings of the Edward Edwards House redevelopment, bringing a burst of colour and inspiration to Blackfriars. Each brushstroke tells a story of resilience, perseverance, and the enduring beauty found in everyday moments. Enlarged from her sketchbooks, Jenny's drawings capture the intricate details of our surroundings – from the delicate petals of flowers to the subtle hues of decaying fruit. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Southwark Charities, JTRE London , and our supporters for their invaluable contributions to this project. Here's to the beauty of continuing inspiration and meaningful collaboration. Discover Jenny's artwork at the junction of Blackfriars Road and Nicholson Street, SE1.
