Our friends have created @NatlCareForce, a nationwide network of care providers, healthcare workers and volunteers, ready to support our social care services in looking after the most vulnerable members of society. Anyone can volunteer! #covid19#socialcare@WeAreFlorence
Today I have written to the CEOs of major supermarkets asking them to give social care workers the same access to their shops as NHS workers, because both are at the front line of our Coronavirus battle. As well as our weekly #ClapForCarers let’s help our carers however we can.
Due to COVID-19, Care Innovation Hub has made the difficult decision to pause all operations for the foreseeable future, likely to last at least six months. In order to protect the funds we have available, Navin will be stepping down as CEO and we will pause all expenditure.
A huge thank you to everyone who is working above and beyond to look after the most vulnerable in our community. We are currently taking appropriate measures during the outbreak at CIH and will update asap.
In good news, @apetitouk joins us as Sprint Partners. Thanks Lisa & team!
