We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Hannah for making us feel so welcome and to be a part of such a special day.

Reflecting on a Wonderful Day at the Fenchurch House Care Home Wellbeing Fair

Community and connection are at the heart of everything we do, which is why Carol, Jean, and I were absolutely delighted to be invited to the Fenchurch House Wellbeing Fair. Held on Thursday, May 21st, the timing could not have been more perfect, coinciding with a beautiful, sun-drenched May afternoon. The event took place in their lovely garden, providing a peaceful and uplifting backdrop for everyone in attendance.

The Fair was thoughtfully organised to promote Dementia Action Week, a crucial initiative dedicated to raising dementia awareness, fostering community support, and highlighting the overall wellbeing of individuals and their families. It was wonderful to see so many people come together to support such a meaningful cause.

During our time at the fair, we had the pleasure of chatting with Mrs. Toni Barwell, the owner of Unirose. We learned about the vital services Unirose provides to the community, which focus heavily on care co-ordination and real-time companionship. Their team does incredible work helping people navigate the often complex health and social care systems, assisting with shopping, and accompanying clients to various appointments to ensure they never feel alone.

Of course, no garden gathering is complete without some treats, and the refreshments provided by Fenchurch House were absolutely delicious.

The highlight of the entertainment was a lively performance by Memory Lane. They brought an incredible energy to the garden, capping off their fantastic set with a spirited rendition of Sweet Caroline, which is a firm favourite among the residents.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Hannah for making us feel so welcome and to be a part of such a special day. We sincerely hope the event was a tremendous success in spreading vital awareness about dementia and strengthening our local support networks.

Of course, the Friends were delighted to agree to this request. We are pleased to share that the fan is now in situ and running in the Fish Room, helping to keep the space cool and calm for both the children and the nursing staff working hard to care for them

How Your Donations Help Our Youngest Patients

The Friends of Johnson Community Hospital, always aim to support our wonderful hospital staff and improve the experience of every patient who walks through the doors. Recently, we received a special request from the team who looks after our youngest patients.

The nursing staff asked for a floor-standing fan to be used in the Fish Room, which is the dedicated space where paediatric blood tests are carried out. Visiting the hospital for a blood test can be a particularly scary and anxious time for children, and keeping the environment as comfortable as possible is essential.

Of course, the Friends were delighted to agree to this request. We are pleased to share that the fan is now in situ and running in the Fish Room, helping to keep the space cool and calm for both the children and the nursing staff working hard to care for them.

It is often these relatively small purchases that make a massive difference, easing the lives of hospital staff and bringing a little extra comfort to patients when they need it most.

None of this would be possible without the ongoing generosity of our local community. Every donation and show of support allows us to say yes to requests like this one. We are incredibly grateful for your continued kindness.
