Mayoral Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage is all the rage these days – the Mayor of Dacorum, Councillor Catherine McArevey, has just completed a 10-day 100k Walk around the boundaries of the Borough of Dacorum, visiting community organisations around the borough. Starting at Holy Trinity Leverstock Green, she has been to Boxmoor, Hemel, Tring, Aldbury, Wigginton and many other towns and villages. On her Berkhamsted stop, she stopped by at the Swan Youth Project and met Berkhamsted Castle Trust to learn about the Save Castle Fields appeal. There are lots of photos on the Mayor’s Facebook page. Cathy has been raising money for the Dacorum Mayor’s Future Fund, which provides grants to voluntary groups across Dacorum, and you can make an online donation at the link below. 

The Mayor also took a detour for a day trip into London to attend the installation of the new Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Richard Moth. At Westminster Cathedral, the Mayor met our new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. Both women have had careers in nursing – as Cathy says, “a reminder that compassion, care and service remain at the heart of leadership, whether in our hospitals, community, churches or our civic institutions.”
