The Stroud Community Lodge story began in 1985 at a meeting of the Stroud Lions Club, where it was agreed the town needed a home for its aged and disabled. A committee emerged, headed by John Bowen, and set about turning an idea into a reality.
In 1990 the Lodge opened its doors to twelve residents, one staff member and a handful of dedicated volunteers. Extended in 1992, 1995, 2001 and 2010, today Stroud Community Lodge features thirty-one residential rooms and three self-care units.
A Living Connection
The beautiful rose garden in the grounds of the Lodge is a living connection to departed family and friends. Each rose bush commemorates a deceased resident of the lodge. The rose garden was designed and constructed by local resident Allan Gorton.
Founded on Generosity
Stroud Community Lodge was founded on donations. If it wasn’t for the generous donation of the land initially, the Lodge would not have been realised. Followed up by the donation of many hours of volunteer time, the Lodge was formed and became home to local residents that were unable to care for themselves at home.
Although the Lodge does not rely on donations, we are a community owned and run, not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and any monetary donations are always welcomed and appreciated. It is guaranteed that 100 per cent of every dollar goes towards the betterment of life for all residents at the Lodge and is not spent on running costs.
