ALL Activities SUSPENDED. During Corona Outbreak Crisis But Work Goes ON.
NET the Neighbourhood Elders Team caring for older people & their carers in Garforth and the 12 villages in the surrounding area of East Leeds.
NET has been asked to support Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust with the vaccine roll out.
The vaccine roll out has started in the NET Area.
You DO NOT have to request this from your doctor.
Your doctor’s practice WILL CONTACT YOU when available. This will take some time and will be administered at a local venue.
NET volunteers have responded to this new challenge with their usual vigour. This follows on immediately from their last task of delivering over 1000 bags of
goodies for santa. An added bonus to 100 lucky recipients was a Golden ticket giving them another golden bag of Christmas goodies.
Our volunteers and staff continue to stay in contact with our clients, making over 1000 telephone contact calls per day, which we have done from March.In July we started to deliver cream tea’s to all clients who were regular luncheon club members. We provided and individually delivered over 1000 packs of sandwiches, sausage rolls, pork pies and salad plus scones, cream and jam. This proved to be a great success appreciated by all recipients and we expanded this to other groups as the month progressed. As the social distancing rules came into play, volunteers were able to spend some time with clients reducing the feeling of isolation which had caused concerns for some months. The Cream Tea deliveries continued in September. Unfortunately reduced contact has been re introduced but cream tea deliveries continue.As the British weather started to chill down a bit during the autumn months NET has introduced “ Heat’ N Eat “ to replace the cream tea’s. Something that can be warmed up to take the chill away. These are individually delivered in a similar manner to the cream tea’s.None of the above would be possible without the help of our dedicated volunteers.The NET Annual has been printed and is in the process of being delivered to all clients and volunteers.
