Ten Churches Walk

MHA have built a new Home in the Bolton and Rochdale District that will cater for sixty residents requiring nursing or dementia care. The Home is built on the site of the former Quaker Residential Care Home in Chorley New Road Bolton.

Members of the Beechville support group sought to raise awareness and funds for the project. As a member of that support group and the Bolton and Rochdale District MHA representative, one of the ways that Brian Young sought to raise awareness and funds for the project was to do a sponsored walk, ‘The Ten Churches Walk’ in which he visited every church in the Farnworth and Worsley Circuit. The walk took place on Saturday 15th September 2007.  It was a wonderful day with folk joining in and walking various stages with Brian. One person even completed the whole walk with him!
