An exciting end to 2025

I’m delighted to end 2025 by sharing some genuinely heartening news: the first phase of the refurbishment of the Ladies’ Mile loos is now complete.

Thanks to the organisation by Ben Skuse and the excellent work of Consort Services, essential repairs have been carried out to the roof (as far as could safely and sensibly be done), the exterior has been freshly repainted, new fencing installed, and the lighting greatly improved.

This milestone has only been reached because of the generosity, encouragement and practical support of so many people.  What began as a shared hope has become visible progress, and that is something worth celebrating.  

​As we look ahead to the New Year, continued support through book sales and speaker engagements will help sustain the momentum and enable the next phase of work to begin.

With my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported, donated, attended talks, bought books, and cheered this project on throughout the year, I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
