New Signage for Charlotte Straker House

2022 is the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Charlotte Straker Project. To celebrate our achievements over the past 30 years, our trustees and management are planning to refresh the branding of our much loved organisation. We want it to reflect the professionalism of our charity as well as the wonderful welcome that our residents experience in our home.

As a first step we have installed a brand new sign at the end of our drive. The previous sign was looking a little tired, so we worked with RW Sign and Design to produce 10 different designs and asked our residents which one they preferred. Once they chose their favourite, we asked the Northumbrian branch of the Dry-Stone Walling Association to build us a natural curved wall as a base and RW Sign and Design created and installed the new sign.

A local business owner (Sally French from French Beauty Lounge) remarked that she had spotted the change of sign immediately, was very impressed with it, as it is very in keeping with the community feel of both Corbridge and Charlotte Straker, and is a real improvement. We absolutely agree and think it looks very smart! The funding of this project was covered by a donation from Stephen Groves, husband of our Chair Berenice.
