Honouring Our Own: Run the River 2025 in Memory of Derek and Joan

Published on: 10 September 2025

In the evening of 10 September, 20 Liverymen came together to take part in a 5K walk in memory of two cherished members of our Livery community, Warden Derek Berry and his partner Joan Paris.

The walk, held the evening before Common Hall, was part of Teach First’s Run the River 2025, and it was inspiring to see friends, family, and Livery members of all ages join us.

Thank you to everyone who walked, remembered, and celebrated the lives of Derek and Joan. Your participation truly honours their memory and supports a fantastic cause.
