Our 2025 AGM will take place on 18th October 2025 at the Victory Services Club, 63-79 Seymour Street, London, W2 2HF (Marble Arch tube). Start time, 2:00pm. This year we have a number of speakers on the day:
- Michael Burnett, lecturer in Early Modern British History at Sheffield University. He will be discussing his research into the first decades of St Helena's colonisation by the English.
- Tara Murphy of the University of Nottingham, reporting on the STRAWS (St Helena Resilience and Well-being Study), which explored mental health and resilience among a group of young people on St Helena. The study provided valuable insights into the needs of young people, including an appetite for a bespoke mental health website, which was launched and evaluated in 2025 (www.mindingmymind.sh).
- Peregrine Bryant of Commonwealth Heritage, updating us on progress on work to the No.1 building in Rupert's Bay, and the Conservation Management Plan for Jamestown.
- Alex Ward: content to be confirmed.
We hope you can join us. Refreshments will be made available. Please remember that to cover costs we must charge an entry fee for the meeting.
