St Anne’s Community Services have been providing care and support to adults with learning disabilities in Kirklees for the last twenty five years. We have a range of services which reflect the needs of the people we support; these include Respite, Residential and Nursing services.

To celebrate this we are holding a 25th Anniversary Jubilee event at Oxfield Court Day Centre, Huddersfield on Sunday 8th July 2018. The event will be open to the people we have supported over the years, their friends and families, carers and other professionals.

This is a way of acknowledging just how far some of the people with learning disabilities we support have come in that time, it’s hard to believe that in 1993 the original people that moved to services provided by St Anne’s.

The intervening years have seen an unprecedented period of change for people with learning disabilities in terms of the opportunities available, as well as increased integration and the chance to lead a fulfilling life with the same rights and expectations as anyone else.

We are tremendously proud of our reputation for quality care and we believe it’s important to celebrate our achievements and look to the future.

Coronavirus (Covid 19) Statement

Due to the exceptional circumstances due to the ongoing Coronavirus (also known as Covid 19) and the Government rules about self-isolating it is very important to reduce the risk of cross infection to all our Clients and staff teams. Our teams are working hard to support all our clients and are committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible.

This means that, in most circumstances, and in line with government information regarding self-isolation and staying at home there should be no visitors to any of our services.

We know, however, that this will be very distressing for some of our Clients.

Therefore, we are saying there must be no visitors to services unless there are exceptional circumstances and the visit is essential.

Before a visit can take place, this must be risk assessed by the manager considering government advice and the individual circumstances. Before setting off on any visit to your relative/friend please get in contact with St Anne’s staff to discuss your visit.

Our services are using all kinds of technology, including social media to make sure that the people we support can stay in touch with those important to them

St Anne’s has developed a visitors protocol to enable visits to begin again in North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire care homes.

In line with Government & local Council Guidelines each Client may have one family member or other person who is close to them visit on a regular basis.

Decisions where visitors can go are being based on Individual Local Authority advice following Government guidelines.

And this message will be updated regularly
