The Encephalitis Society Retreat
June 2008, Wales
I've just returned from the Society's retreat in Wales and just wanted to say that it was, as ever, an unqualified success. There was a great deal of very positive feedback in conversation and contact with members, both about the retreat and about the Society in general. Many people mentioned to me that the ES had been an absolute lifeline in their crisis and was still the place where they felt most supported. As this echoes my own experience, I thought I would pass it on. Martin McLeish
Martin Kemp championed the encephalitis Society at a Celebrity edition of Who wants to be a Millionaire on 8th January 2008.
Our exceptional Patron took to ITV1 with his brother Gary in order to raise awareness and funds for the Society. They won £10,000 so well done and thanks guys! Enjoy the photos and see if you can spot Ava Easton, our Development Manager in the audience sat next to Martin's wife Shirlie. Ava went down to support and cheer the guys on.

Every couple of years the Society organises a special Retreat weekend away (Friday to Sunday), in the magnificent location of Buckland Hall nestled in the mountains of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales. The weekend is for anyone affected by encephalitis (directly or indirectly) and includes workshops , presentations, and therapies involved in dealing with life’s difficulties, treating yourself and having some fun too. Alternatively you can just come and wander the magnificent 60 acres of gardens, parkland and lakes. These are the pictures from the 2006 weekend away.
