And now for something a little bit special…
At our Leadership Retreat in 2025, we had the joy and privilege of Premiering a short documentary style film: “Elfrida’s Eyes” for our managers, chaplains and leaders. And now we are pleased to share this film more widely!
Elfrida Calvocoressi was the wife of the late Roy Calvocoressi OBE – one of our 5 founding members. Roy and Elfrida – who became a trustee – played a hugely pivotal and long-standing role in Langley Trust.
Together they were significant in the formation and development of who we are and they both had a particular and impactful vision for the Christian basis of our work and the spiritual wellbeing of our staff and clients.
The involvement of the Calvocoressi family continues to this day, nearly seven decades on. Elfrida, George and Caroline – the next generation of the family – are all Langley Fellows maintaining their support for our work through their prayers, time and financial investment.
To mark the Calvocoressi involvement we were thrilled to be able to name the boardroom in our newly renovated office space in Coventry, The Calvocoressi Boardroom.
Long may their legacy continue…
