Whittington Governor Stars in Company of Elders
On Tuesday 23 June, BBC1 aired a documentary on Sadler's Wells 'Company of Elders' of which Eve Dewhurst, a Governor of the Whittington, is a member. The Company of Elders is a dance company with 25 performers between the ages of 61-85. They have performed at places including the Albert Hall and the Venice Biennale. The Company of Elders gives an inspirational performance and is the jewel in the crown of Sadler’s Wells.
As well as being a Governor to the Whittington, Eve is an actor and works with ‘Interact’ reading to stroke patients on Cloudsley Ward. She has also received care and treatment for cancer at the hospital. As a Governor, Eve wants to become involved in the work to improve environmental conditions and patient facilities, and make sure areas maintain the excellent standard as the new critical care and chemotherapy units. Eve wants to show her gratitude for the wonderful care given at the Whittington and wants to make a difference in many areas.
