"Forget-Me-Not" Appeal
Ten Churches
Walk
MHA are building a new Home in the
Bolton
and Rochdale District that will cater for sixty residents requiring nursing or
dementia care. The Home is in the process of being built on the site of the
former Quaker Residential Care Home in Chorley New Road Bolton.
Members
of the Beechville support group are seeking 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!
