Community Connections recently received a follow-up letter of thanks from the Coram Family, after the team helped to renovate the Coram campus as part of the BUPA London Challenge:

"We wish to convey our very warmest thanks to you and all the BUPA team for the amazing transformation you have effected in the portacabin. We are overcome with gratitude at the enthusiasm with which you tackled the task, and would be very glad if you could convey our sincere thanks to all those concerned."
