It was great to see so many RNCSF bursary award holders at yesterday's celebration event at Westminster School.
The gathering provided a wonderful opportunity for our young people to share with each other their bursary experiences.

A huge privilege to give the address for Holocaust Memorial Day service at West London Synagogue, and remembering subsequent genocides. Such a poignant musical sound world too: when you can’t say it, sing it

Today marks the birthday of our founder, William Ewart Gladstone. Born in 1809, Gladstone played a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of Victorian Britain.
Gladstone's Library holds many items of his personal book collection in the History Room.

Regulars at the Library may already know that Denise, who has worked in Food for Thought for 20 years, is retiring this year.
This is farewell but not goodbye - she plans to return as a volunteer and visitor - but we thought she deserved a bit of spoiling today!

Mary Gladstone would go on to become an unofficial personal secretary to her father. This granted her considerable power to influence who had access to the Prime Minister.
She also had communication in her own right with many famous people of the day...
