Gloucestershire-based charity, Lilian Faithfull Care, is celebrating 75 years of caring for the county’s elderly people, this May 2021.
It was established in May 1946 by its namesake, Lilian Faithfull, after she retired from her position as Principal of Cheltenham Ladies’ College. She vowed to do something about people suffering during old age, setting up The Cheltenham Old People’s Housing Society.
The society acquired several buildings, including Astell House and St Faith’s from Cheltenham Ladies’ College, turning them into residential homes for the elderly. Just seven years after founding the charity, Lilian Faithfull passed away at Faithfull House in Cheltenham – and the charity was renamed in her honour.
