1920's Over the course of nearly 100 years, we have supported over 250,000 disabled people throughout the UK to live the lives they chose, as independently as possible. We are proud of our military heritage and our founding is still true today of providing three key services; care, housing and employment. Expand By the end of 1921, 510 men had been admitted to Enham and 366 had been discharged - 80% of whom were fit to take up employment or industrial training. In 1922, The King and Queen, accompanied by HRH the Duke of York, visited Enham. The Village Centres Council had a number of high-profile patrons from 1923 onwards including HRHs the King and Queen, Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, HRH Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles, Field Marshal HRH the Duke of Connaught, and HRH Princess Alice. On 26th June 1926, the Landale Wilson Institute was completed and opened by HRH the Prince of Wales. Now known as the Landale Wilson Hall, it is still used today for parties and events. The building was given to Enham by Mr and Mrs. D. Landale Wilson in commemoration of their silver wedding anniversary.
1918 - 1920 Over the course of nearly 100 years, we have supported over 250,000 disabled people throughout the UK to live the lives they chose, as independently as possible. We are proud of our military heritage and our founding is still true today of providing three key services; care, housing and employment. Expand Enham Place was a private estate which together with houses and other buildings totalled some 1027 acres. As a result of a visit from John Hodge, Minster for Pensions, the Village Centres Council selected Enham Place as the site for the first Village Centre following the Great War 'for the medical treatment and training of ex-servicemen suffering from the effects of amputations, neurasthenia and shell shock. Existing buildings were enough to accommodate 150 men, with the first 50 injured soldiers arriving in the summer of 1919. In 1919, King George V donated £100 which enabled Enham to start supporting disabled people. This money was used for housing at Enham – previously known as Knights Enham. During 1919, the Red Cross also gave a total of £15,000 towards a new medicine building. By October 1919, there were 150 clients living at Enham. Enham was officially opened by Sir Laming Worthington M.P, Minster for Pensions.
Pre 1918 Over the course of nearly 100 years, we have supported over 250,000 disabled people throughout the UK to live the lives they chose, as independently as possible. We are proud of our military heritage and our founding is still true today of providing three key services; care, housing and employment. Expand The UK identified the need for care and support of the war-disabled. A group of concerned people that would become the Village Centres Council, met for the first time in London to consider what might be done to help the ever-increasing number of men becoming disabled on the Western front in the Great War. Italy and France's efforts to ensure adequate care and training for the disabled servicemen had impressed them all. They all agreed that the UK needed to follow that lead.
