    Little Sisters Of The Poor - In The Care Of The Elderly

    LondonUnited Kingdom

    The Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor is a religious order founded in France in 1839. The Sisters came to England in 1851 and a rapid expansion took place in towns and cities through the Country. Today there are eleven Homes in the UK and Ireland: Bristol, Dublin (2), Glasgow, Greenock, Leeds, London (2), Manchester, Newcastle and Waterford. The express desire of our foundress, Jeanne Jugan, was to provide residential care for the elderly poor, regardless of their race, creed or gender.
