As part of St Anne’s commitment to supporting individuals working within the care sector, we are launching a partnership with The Care Worker’s Charity

The Care Workers Charity The Care Workers Charity supports anyone working at St Anne’s by one-off hardship grants to support financial hardship.

The grants are not expected to be paid back and you can apply for a grant for a number of reasons.

This could be as a result of (not an exhaustive list for):

  • If you experienced a sudden illness or injury is experienced
  • If you experienced an unexpected loss of income
  • If someone close to you has died
  • If you have faced a recent relationship breakdown and/or domestic abuse

The Charity offer two types of grants typically limited to £500:

  • Essential needs grants – one-off payment towards the cost of an item/need which is necessary to sustain basic health or to improve poor quality of life such as a grant being awarded to help you pay for essential home furnishings.
  • Crisis grants – one-off payment to support someone experiencing an unforeseen or life changing circumstance such as helping with funeral costs for a bereavement. The Care Workers Charity will consider applications from anyone who works at St Anne’s as everyone meets the criteria; this can be anyone working in a central service role or a front line role. If your application is not accepted, The Care Workers Charity are able to direct you to other types of support

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, East Yorkshire, Durham, Middlesbrough and Leeds 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.
