15. HRH The Countess of Wessex opens Treloar’s renovations:

HRH The Countess of Wessex visited Treloar’s School and College on Tuesday 15 September to officially open the newly renovated Evans House. The Countess, who is Treloar’s Royal Patron, was met by the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Mr Nigel Atkinson. The Company supports Treloar’s and I was invited to attend. Her Royal Highness spoke to trustees, donors, students and the staff who made the project a success, followed by a tour of Evans House. In a brief exchange, with the Countess, she acknowledged the contribution Livery Companies such as ours made to the life of Treloar’s and to disabled children.

The revamped accommodation provides College students with skills and experience they need for a successful transition when they leave Treloar.
