Nugent Care Society
Based in Liverpool, the Nugent Care Society has provided extensive care services to those in need for over 100 years. During this period its services have adapted to the changing needs of individuals and society but its ethos has remained constant.
Nugent Care's philosophy is based around the life and work of Father James Nugent (1822–1905) who had a dramatic impact on the quality of life of vulnerable children and individuals. Today Father Nugent's work continues through Nugent Care.
On his visit in 1982, Pope John Paul II observed that Liverpool's 'greatest heritage is found in all those who have struggled to overcome the ills of society and to build up a common brotherhood' and in this regard Father Nugent was Liverpool's 'own pioneer of charity'.
