Co-founder of Chorley Women's Centre Betty Swancott left great legacy

Betty Swancott, who died on April 16, worked tirelessly for the centre from its inception in 1984 and was still involved in her 90s.

Friend and colleague Dorothy Rowe said: “Betty and her dedicated team ensured that there was always a safe place where women, often in great distress, could be sure of someone to listen to them and also provide practical information and the direction that they needed.
