Championing Health & Wellbeing
We're proud to introduce our new Health & Wellbeing Champions - here to help us focus on doing the right things to support our teams.
We have also run the first of our Health & Wellbeing Surveys, recognising that Covid has had an impact on all our lives and particularly for colleagues who have themselves been impacted either through testing positive, having to isolate or continue to shield due to being clinically extremely vulnerable.
Free PPE for unpaid carers
Unpaid carers across the country who do not live with the people they care for can now benefit from free PPE through a new national scheme, the government has confirmed.
Following a successful pilot, protective equipment is to be provided to keep unpaid carers and those they care for safe. Please follow the link to the government website to find out more: Free PPE for unpaid carers - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
We need Trustees!
We are Heart of England Mencap, an established charity covering South Warwickshire and Worcestershire, supporting adults with a learning disability to live their best life. Through the provision of Supported Living, Respite and Day Services we strive to be the best in our field.
We're looking for people who can demonstrate they have the dedication and innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of people with a learning disability, to join us as Trustees. People to champion disabled people’s rights and their meaningful inclusion in community life.
