AROUND THE HOUSES
What’s happening
at John Morris House
John Morris House (JMH) community
centre in south west London has been
thriving lately with many of our resident
groups hosting their meetings and social
events at the venue.
The Deaf Club is one group who has been making
the most of the space. In February, members hosted
their own lunch for Shrove Tuesday (pancake day).
Care Services Manager, Liz Alli said, “the group
is going brilliantly and members are becoming
very empowered.”
If you are hearing impaired and would like to
take part in the group, please contact Liz Alli or
Seeta Manjeswar.

Resident and CHISEL Kids charity founder,
Jacci Francis uses the rooms at JMH for her
youth training sessions.
“Thank you to Viridian for the support and
use of John Morris House. We are always
made to feel extremely welcome, so much
so that it is difficult to get trainees to leave
at the end of each session!”

One step closer to Olympic dream
Our very own Olympic hopeful is
edging closer to competing in the
London Olympics later this year.
In January, resident and long jumper, Ezekiel
Ewulo achieved a personal best of 7.75
meters at the UK Indoor championship and
won the silver medal.
He also scored a place on the England
Athletics team and competed at three
high profile indoor track and field events in
Europe.
Ezekiel said his career is going really well
under new coach Aston Moore.
“My recent indoor performance has helped
to lift my profile for the coming outdoor
season, so things are looking up,” Ezekiel
said. “I’m going to the Olympics trials in June
at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham and
I’m definitely hoping to make the team!”
Ezekiel will also be jumping in May at the
IAAF World Challenge in Daegu, Korea.
We wish him all the best!
