Local care company supports those working with older or disabled people

 

Local community groups are being invited to apply for a grant of £250 on offer from Hammersmith & Fulham care provider Bluebird Care.

The company has re-opened its Community Grant scheme, which aims to benefit local groups in our borough working with older people or those living with a disability.

Nathan Hartley is coordinating the scheme and says support will be offered to the successful applicant to ensure older people get the most from their grant.

""The Bluebird Care Community Grant will also come with support and advice," he says. "We want to work with a local project that gives older people an opportunity to try something new and that will add benefit to their lives.

"Examples of the type of projects we are looking for could include gardening, leisure, recreational or musical activities."

The company has already awarded two previous grants, one to the Masbro Elders Project in Hammersmith, which works with older people to tackle loneliness and isolation, and the other to the Hammersmith Community Gardens Association.

Bluebird Care provides care in the home for customers who suffer from dementia, physical and learning disabilities, and works alongside their families, Social Services, GPs and Clinical Commissioning Groups to ensure each person receives the care they need.

Since opening its office in Scrubs Lane almost six years ago, the company says it has been working hard to support other organisations across the district.

Soheila Amin, Managing Director, said: “As well as providing care & companionship services to people living in their own homes, Bluebird Care is passionate about supporting community projects and initiatives.

"So many neighbourhoods thrive because of volunteers who work tirelessly to run community groups, host events and provide services that benefit others. Much of this work involves supporting older people who, without regular coffee mornings, day-trips or lunch clubs, would be left isolated at home."
