This update now received from a senior member of the Stanley Grange Friends and Family Forum, following their meeting with Hft trustees in early May…
‘The latest developments at Stanley Grange are that Hft trustees have decided that they no longer want to go on running Stanley Grange as an intentional village community themselves, but are putting it on the market for the next 6 months, through Carterwood, a specialist residential home estate agency, in the hope that another charity or provider will buy it. The Friends & Family Forum have welcomed this, & hope very much that a charity will show interest in purchasing Stanley Grange, thereby ensuring that the current residents of Stanley Grange can remain in their chosen home. Meanwhile the Friends & Family Forum has engaged with Lancashire & other local authorities that fund current & would fund future placements, thus ensuring that Stanley Grange will be a viable going concern, & so attractive to prospective buyers. More soon….’
