Retreat history and purpose

The late Mrs Sybil Terry was connected to Age Concern Eden for many years, and wished to leave a legacy for the benefit of Age Concern staff, volunteers, and those in a daily caring role. As a result of her generous bequest, Lowthwaite Lodge was commissioned and installed in this beautiful location.

 

Although the retreat is primarily for the people mentioned above, the lodge can also be used as a welcome break for anyone caring for a person with acute or chronic illness, irrespective of age.
