EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Mrs Cecilia Bochenek, founder of the Horder Centre, sits comfortably at a table, her warm smile radiating a sense of determination and compassion. The year is estimated to be the 1960s, and the setting is the Horder Centre, a recuperative home she established in Crowbrough, East Sussex, alongside her dear friend, Dr Joyce Peake. Despite being confined to a wheelchair due to her own debilitating arthritis, Mrs Bochenek's spirit remained undeterred. The Horder Centre was a pioneering initiative, specifically designed to offer respite and care for individuals suffering from arthritis. Named after Lord Horder of Ashford, who became the first President, the Centre aimed to provide a supportive environment where those in need could receive essential medical treatment and emotional care. Mrs Bochenek's dedication to the cause was unwavering, and her commitment to improving the lives of others, despite her own challenges, is truly inspiring. Seated in the kitchen of the Centre, she appears at ease, her posture reflecting the comfort and security that the Horder Centre offered to its residents. The photograph captures a moment of tranquility and hope amidst the challenges of living with a debilitating condition. The Horder Centre's legacy continues to this day, with the organisation evolving to meet the changing needs of those affected by arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. The image of Mrs Cecilia Bochenek, sitting at the table, serves as a poignant reminder of her enduring commitment to the cause and the positive impact she had on countless lives.
