Hello! My name is Kat Pulford, and I’m the Community Manager at St Elizabeth’s Centre.  

For those readers who are not familiar with St Elizabeth’s, we are based on the outskirts of Much Hadham on South End road and cover 68 acres of beautiful parkland.  Founded in 1903, St Elizabeth’s is a national charity supporting around 200 people of all ages with epilepsy and other complex medical conditions. 

Over the past 117 years, St Elizabeth’s has grown and developed to comprise a non-maintained special School for both boarders and day students, a specialist Further Education College, domiciliary care for College learners, residential care with nursing for 102 Adults across 12 purpose built bungalows, a comprehensive Day Opportunities programme for residents and day clients and 24 hour health provision provided by specialist nurses and therapists. The charity was previously one of the charitable works of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross of Liège, however in 2018, St Elizabeth’s Centre became a charity in its own right.

We are also delighted to say that our ‘Tough Times Blog’ proved so popular, we are now moving it over to a new permanent home and renaming it ‘The Purple Post’. The blog will continue to feature different voices from the St Elizabeth’s community, giving insight into the day to day running of the charity. https://thepurplepost1903.wordpress.com/blog/

We are now ten months into the Covid-19 pandemic, and we continue to adapt and adjust to the ever-changing landscape of the pandemic. With 170 residents living on site (plus 650+ staff), keeping everyone safe continues to be our highest priority. Through rigorous cleaning and thorough planning, we have been able to maintain a significantly low infection rate across the site.
