Engaging With Democracy
Giving our residents a voice in the General Election
During the run-up to the recent General Election, Goodson Lodge residents along with all others living in OSJCT care homes, were encouraged and supported to make their votes count on polling day.
This included putting on transport to polling stations on the big day, promoting the election around the homes and facilitating postal votes.
At Goodson Lodge this also included inviting candidates from all parties standing in the South West Wiltshire constituency into the home for a series of election visits.
Each candidate was invited to speak for 15 minutes, followed by an open forum Q&A session.
