2011 - 10 years of the Jericho Road Project

In 2011 the Jericho Road Project will be celebrating it's 10th year. And with recovery from my knee op slowing me down, I have valued some time recently to reflect on the many people that the project has been involved with over the last 10 years. The plan is for a Sunday celebration on the 2nd October and a lunchtime event probably on the 29th September that will promote all that we are involved in to the many professionals and volunteers that we work with. We will get to tell lots of the stories of people's lives.

This week I have spent time with 2 of our ex residents. One has recently celebrated being drug free for 2 years after well over 30 years in addiction. Another recently moved into his own flat after being a rough sleeper for 18 months, then staying in the winter shelter at 999 club who then referred him to the Jericho Road Project and then finally he secured a flat! Both stories are great to hear again and again, so we will tell these stories and many other later in the year at the celebrations. Don't miss the 2nd October, it will be a great Sunday!
