Your help is needed! Can you help us build a new way of delivering care in our communities?


Recommended Posts

Hello! I need your help. I'm working on a project that aims to tackle the care crisis for the elderly - something that matters to everyone with parents of a certain age.


It would be great if you could help us by giving some feedback on our initial thinking. It won't take much time and your opinion would be much appreciated. All it takes is that you sign up, you will then receive a link to a test website as soon as it goes live and invited to give your feedback via a survey.


If you're interested, simply fill out the form on the link below. Thank you ever so much!

Its a link to Share care, an organisation which wants to tackle the care crisis for elderly through the creation of an army of volunteers. Nice idea- will support those who need a low level of care perhaps a friendly person checking on them, but will not be able to meet all elderly peoples needs.


We are living in a period where all forms of publicly funded care services are under threat. Health, social care, schools, mental health services services are being axed and whats left are being privatised.


If you want proper care for all we need to tackle to reasons for the underlying current crisis. We need a government which will properly fund and de-privatise services. This means getting involved in the campaigns to challenge the cuts, whether the privatisation of the NHS through the 'Sustainability and Transformation plans', your local park, your local pharmacy, library, day centre et al and voting for CORBYN in the next general election.


Our vulnerable elders needs more than volunteers- how about our unemployed graduates being trained to be PAID Elder outreach workers, what about opening up an Elder day centre or having properly trained and paid home carers.

    • Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about  preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available?  I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets.  If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental  capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible  closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
    • Hello, I'm Fran, an award-winning family photographer based in Dulwich, specialising in candid photography for families, children and newborns. My photoshoots are fun, relaxed and unposed, capturing beautiful photos of real family life. My photos have been seen in Vogue and Grazia.  For purchase during the Christmas period only, I have just launched my annual Christmas voucher promotion for a 1 hour family photoshoot at home and 10 edited high-resolution digital photographs for only £250. You can enjoy this to update your family photos next year, or gift it to others.  With £45 off my standard session fee, this is a real bargain. I have issued 5 sessions at this price, and there are only 2 left to buy! Grab yours here! Thanks, Fran
    • Just in case you do get a cheque you can pay it into your Monzo account or similar by taking a photo of the cheque in the app v easily.  I know my bank's app didn't work but that's probably the exception.  I have to say that if and when people gift me money in any form I'm always really appreciative and never get irritated.  But for those that are not tech savvy of whatever age, brain power or other reason, a face to face encounter may be preferable but becoming increasingly impossible so that company profits can be increased. 
    • I'm in my early 40s and I am not sure anyone (aprt from HMRC) has sent me money in cheque form for at least 20 years.  I would be slightly irritated to get a cheque as I would have to find time to pay it in.  I can well imagine a young adult being pretty baffled by a cheque.  Many don't even bank with places that have physical branches.
