EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Respite and Community: The Horder Centre, Crowborough, East Sussex, 1960s This evocative photograph captures a scene of camaraderie and tranquility at the Horder Centre in Crowborough, East Sussex, circa 1960s. The Horder Centre, founded by the indomitable spirit of Mrs Cecilia Bochenek and her dedicated friend, Dr Joyce Peake, was a recuperative home specifically designed for individuals battling arthritis. Despite being crippled by arthritis and confined to a wheelchair herself, Mrs Bochenek's determination and compassion led her to establish this unique retreat. Named after Lord Horder of Ashford, who graciously became the Centre's first President, the Horder Centre provided a sanctuary where those afflicted by arthritis could find relief, support, and a sense of belonging. The photograph shows a group of individuals, some in wheelchairs, gathered around a table in the Centre's cozy cafe. Their faces radiate a sense of comfort and contentment as they engage in conversation, share a meal, or simply enjoy each other's company. This moment encapsulates the essence of the Horder Centre – a place where people could come together, find solace, and rejuvenate their spirits amidst their arduous health journeys. The Horder Centre's mission was to provide care, treatment, and a nurturing environment for those dealing with arthritis. The Centre offered medical care, physical therapy, and social activities, all aimed at improving the overall well-being of its residents. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power of community, compassion, and the indomitable human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
