St Mary's to host 95th anniversaryGala Dinner at Herstmonceux
St Mary’s, Wrestwood Road, Bexhill, was founded in 1922 as a special school for disabled children by medical professionals who wanted to provide the best possible start for young people who then had few opportunities to access education with support. It has continued this ethos in the work of The Talking Trust.
It is a leading registered charity which provides non-maintained residential education and therapy for children and young people aged 7–19 who have severe speech, language and/or communication difficulties.

Jonathan Smalldon, St Mary’s Fundraising and Marketing Manager says the dinner at Herstmonceux on June 23, is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the history of St Mary’s whilst also showing support as it plans for the future. “I’m sure that everyone who attends will have a great time in a wonderful setting,” he said.
