We gathered this afternoon to reflect on how the campaign was going and what our next steps would be.
There have been some worrying developments like the fact that the Day Centre is not accepting any new people. We understand the reasons for not accepting any new permenant residents into the home until a decision is made but do not think it should apply to the Day Centre too. This is a VITAL LIFELINE to so many people who are socially isolated.
The next phase of our campaign is being finalised so expect to hear about what, how where and when... after it has happened. Our intention is to make the greatest impact through careful planning, strategic thinking and canny tactics in order to achieve our goals that BOWLES LODGE STAYS! - both the excellent home and Day Centre.
We will be meeting again in September to plan the next phase of our campaign. Date and venue will be sent to all relatives.
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.
