Written in a non-fiction novel style, The Wintringham Story explores the power of social justice and tracks the journey of Bryan Lipmann, from working in a slaughterhouse to the large night shelters of the 1980s and through to Wintringham today, an organisation that has cared for thousands of elderly men and women who could otherwise be homeless. Bryan Lipmann is an unwilling hero and few know the story of the incredible organisation he built to look after the elderly homeless. This moving and sometimes humorous story of Bryan, his team and their elderly clients will appeal to those interested in learning how an intriguing man with an unusual leadership style, achieved the seemingly impossible. Readers interested in social issues or those who simply like reading about a success will enjoy The Wintringham Story.
