The legal process to save Bowles Lodge is over but the spirit of Bowles Lodge lives on!

This blog is about a campaign I led to prevent Lancashire County Council closing the care home my Mum lived in. We lost our case in the High Court but decision-makers at local and national level were made aware of the devastating consequences of moving elderly people - no matter how carefully it is done. Mum was moved and, sadly, died eight months later. The blog is dedicated to her precious memory. Love you Mum.

Sad news

  1. Sorry to hear the sad news. I think its appalling we treat our senior citizens this way. They are human beings not some experimental rats you mess around with. They deserve some respect and dignity in their later years and a consistent, thoughtful and restful place to live is a priority.
    Save Bowles Lodge!!!
