A donation of over £6,500, raised over the last 12 months has delivered a welcome new year’s boost.
The Kernos Centre welcomed the Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers (a livery company marking its 400th anniversary, this year) to its Friars Street premises, for a special cheque presentation this week.
Brian Turner, Master of the livery company, selected the Kernos Centre as his chosen charity for his year in office, having previously been a director of the organisation, between 2008 and 2011. “I was honoured to be elected the Master of the Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers, a 400-year-old City livery company, with a chartable trust which supports deserving causes”, said Brian. “I chose the Kernos Centre as my charity for 2022, as I am a great admirer of its work, and I have witnessed first-hand how some of its young clients have benefitted from the counselling received from its dedicated team.”
Chris Boatwright, the clinical director of Kernos, added, “Such support is so important to us: especially at a time like this, with falling donations and rising costs. Also, to receive recognition for the work we do in the local community, all the way from the City of London, is remarkable!
“This donation will help us maintain supporting both adults and children with their mental and psychological health and well-being. Everyone at Kernos sends grateful thanks to Brian, and to all the members of the Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers.”
