- ‘Welcome to Cherry Lodge’. in which Linda Patrick, who took up the new post of CL Operations Manager in October 2023, introduces herself more widely.
- The ‘Bits & Pieces’ notice board: with a post about Charlotte’s interview on BBC Radio London in November, telling people about CL’s very special place in the community; as well as details of the prizes and prize winners at the CL Grand Annual Raffe.
- The ‘Our Services & Approach’ page, a very useful, up to date summary.
