Story

The Bridget Lindley Memorial Fund was first set up in Bridget's honour following her death on Wednesday 2nd March 2016. Family Rights Group, with permission from her family, is re-opening the Fund to gather donations and ensure her amazing legacy is continued.

Bridget worked tirelessly and passionately for Family Rights Group for over 28 years as a case adviser, legal adviser and from 2004 to her death as Principal Legal Adviser and Deputy Chief Executive.  Bridget has had a far-reaching influence on child welfare policy, legislation and practice and has advised thousands of families, including mothers subject to domestic violence who feared their children would be removed and placed into the care system, and grandparents who were  struggling without any support to singlehandedly raise their grandchildren.

"The help and advice Bridget gave me was invaluable....without her input my local authority would have continued to ignore me, with her...they finally listened and acted. Our lives are better because of Bridget and for that I will be eternally grateful" - grandmother raising four grandchildren.

Bridget's exceptional legal skills, her passion for human rights and fair process and her sound judgement have had a very significant impact on Family Rights Group.  Your donation will help to continue her extraordinary work.
