SUMMARY:Brother On A Bus
DESCRIPTION:At 85 years young\, the indomitable Brother John Green is setting off on an extraordinary adventure—an eight-week journey around the British Isles using nothing but public buses\, staying at other almshouses and donated accommodation from everyone from mayors to bishops. \nLaunching on May 1st\, 2025\, Brother Green’s “Brother on a Bus” tour isn’t just about the miles he’ll cover. It’s a heartfelt mission to raise funds for our charity\, share the story of our historic Hospital\, and build excitement for our 900th anniversary in 2032. \nA beloved resident Brother\, known for his bookbinding skills\, volunteer work\, and boundless energy\, Brother Green will be interviewing fellow travellers\, highlighting sites of historic interest\, and blogging weekly reflections from his Sunday rest stops. \nHis efforts have already caught the attention of The King—who\, as President of the Almshouse Association\, has offered his good wishes—as well as the Bishop of Winchester and HM Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire. With support at the highest levels and Stagecoach onboard for providing much of the us travel\, Brother Green’s journey promises to be a national celebration of heritage\, community\, and good old-fashioned British grit. \nWant to support Brother Green on his journey and preserve the stunning setting and charitable work of the Hospital for generations to come? Donate here. \nOr keep up with his full story here: https://hospitalofstcross.co.uk/brother-on-a-bus/
