  • Summary

  • The year 1950 saw the start of the Korean War, James Dean get his first acting break, and a few new, trendy houses in the UK be designed with indoor toilets.

    It was also the year in which a young Leslie Kay was first introduced to the 'Old Home' - the forerunner to our modern Heathlands Village.

    It was the start of lifelong relationship between Leslie and Heathlands Village - and today The Fed as well - which has covered more than eight decades, numerous senior positions of responsibility, and an infectious enthusiasm for caring, community, and continuity which exists to this day.

    From a round-the-world trip in the 1970s chasing the latest innovations in watch manufacturing, to fending off a chorus of dissenters - not once, but twice - in pursuit of the goal of industry-leading social care in Greater Manchester, Leslie is "the last one" of a generation who dedicated their lives to the flourishing and self-sufficient community we have today.

    It's a story as enjoyable to listen to as it is important to the history of our great organisation, and one which Humans of The Fed is thrilled to present and preserve.
