This June, St John’s Foundation in Bath were thrilled to gather for their annual Founders Day, an uplifting tradition that unites residents, trustees, staff, and friends of St John’s for an afternoon of joy, connection, and celebration.
With entertainment, delicious treats, and plenty of laughter, it was a truly memorable day as they honoured St John’s incredible 851-year legacy and the deep-rooted bond they share with the Bath community.
St John’s sent in these wonderful photos from the day, commenting,
“Founders Day is a moment to pause and reflect on our rich heritage, but it’s also a celebration of the present and a hopeful look toward the future. It encapsulates the spirit of who we are today: a warm, inclusive and compassionate community committed to helping people live well, with joy, purpose, and independence.
It was heartening to see everyone enjoying the day, swapping stories, sharing laughter, and creating new memories together. A heartfelt thank you goes to the Francis Hotel, whose generous donation of beautifully crafted cakes made our afternoon tea extra special. We’re also deeply grateful to everyone who helped make the day possible. Whether organising, setting up, or lending a hand on the day, your contributions brought the event to life.
A highlight of the afternoon was the surprise performance by the singing waiters. Their energy and charm lit up the crowd, inspiring smiles, laughter—and even a bit of dancing! Seeing our residents on their feet, swept up in the fun, was a joyful reminder of what Founders Day means to us all at St John’s.”
