REGARDING your Insight feature on fostering and adoption (LET, October 15), how sad it was to read of four little sisters looking for a home.

Yet, Chaigley Manor, near Clitheroe, will, and can, bring love and happiness to hundreds of such children. Already, more than 1,000 children have seen a new way of life there. It is beautiful. A party of four or eight people or even one person can now book a holiday or a short stay there. It is a wonderful retreat from everyday chores.
