It’s Volunteer Week β€οΈπŸ‘

Some of our volunteers were hard at it today - weeding and getting part of the dig ready for Irchester Field School 2026! β›οΈπŸΊ

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg for how much our volunteers support us - and we wouldn’t be where we are today without all of their help - so thank you for everything that you do to make life at The Chester House Estate better every day πŸ™ŒπŸ’«

We’ll have more information very soon on the dig this year - where you can come to witness and join us and our volunteers to do what we do best! πŸ’ͺ

🌟 A very special shoutout here to one of our recent visitors - Avril Abraham and her family:

Avril recently joined us to celebrate her 80th Birthday - and along with family and friends enjoyed a private function with a special Afternoon Tea party in the Threshing Barn πŸ«–

The very next day, Avril along with her grandson Caleb completed a skydive together! πŸͺ‚πŸͺ‚

This was in aid of raising funds for The Helen Clarke Suite, to enhance NHS services and bring care and comfort to women with breast cancer.

They both smashed this challenge and continue to fundraise for this incredible cause. From all the team here - Avril, you are a legend! πŸ’ͺπŸ’–

✨ Thank you for sharing these photos with us, it made our day! Here is the link to their page if anyone would like to read more about her story or contribute as well: https://swftcharity.enthuse.com/pf/avril-abraham
