Are we entering the dawn of a new era?
These are extraordinary times for us all, and will undoubtedly be examined by historians, economists and scientists for years to come. Perhaps never before have we understood so clearly what it means to be an interconnected, global society. The current health crisis will test our values and we’ll be judged in the future on how effectively we protected the most vulnerable in our communities.

Thankfully, friendship and generosity have been at the heart of the Johnian community for many generations, and these are the values that will steer us through difficult waters.
Events

the UK and further afield, and our events programme is being adapted accordingly.
