On Thursday 25 September 2025, we were delighted to host In Good Company at Saddlers’ Hall. This was a special City Breakfast bringing together friends, supporters, and members of the business community.
We are deeply grateful to our guest speakers Baroness O’Neill of Bexley, OBE, and Alderman Vincent Keaveny, CBE, for their inspiring words on the importance of giving back and celebrating the good happening in the City, in Bexley (home of our central building), and beyond.
Our Trustee Vince Dignam and Executive Director Shauna Mulligan highlighted the vital role of our services in South East London, from free welfare advice and social activities to our new Roots with ICS heritage project.
It was a joy to welcome broadcaster Gloria Hunniford and former professional footballer John Salako among the many who joined us for such an uplifting morning. The buzz in the room was incredible, and we were so moved to see both familiar friends and new supporters engaging with our work.
A special thank you to all who attended and to the Prime Warden and Court of the Saddlers’ Company for kindly permitting the use of Saddlers’ Hall.
