Mission Statement
We care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service which we have received from Jeanne Jugan. We welcome the elderly as we would Jesus Christ Himself and serve them with love and respect until death.
About This Cause
The Little Sisters of the Poor are a charity committed to supporting the needs of vulnerable older people of modest means, by providing a caring home with safe accommodation, respite provision, and palliative end of life care. We address the growing need for affordable older person care, and admission to our Homes is open to low-income elderly of at least 65 years of age, regardless of race, nationality or religion. Our charity has 6 care homes in England (Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol and 2 in London), all of which use a relationship-centred care approach to try and create a family style setting and home from home atmosphere. We strive to challenge ageism and disadvantage to ensure the neediest are included in society and can lead fuller, more independent lives, and the impact of our work brings many benefits; particularly by reducing loneliness and isolation and keeping people active. Other notable impacts are achieved by building intergenerational partnerships with schools and other groups, supporting people to form friendships, and bringing communities together to create lasting change.
