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.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
