Welcome

NET A Charity for the over

60’s In Garforth and the

surrounding 12 villages of

East Leeds covering 45 sq.

miles.

Its ethos is summed up by a comment from one of NET’s clients who commented on our facebook page after being escorted through the vaccine process at the Kippax Health Centre ”You do so much for the community and never want praise, you just want to help because you care” This comment sums up NET’s ethos of supporting the over 60s and over the past two years supporting the community. NET could not operate without the volunteers who work with us. They are the ones that should be applauded for what NET achieves and the services NET provides.

Net Clients, Volunteers and Staff

planted a tree in the NET Memory &

Sensory Garden as part of Her

Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. Due to

the water shortages this was delayed

until the beginning of September.

We planted a Photinia (Red Robin)

kindly donated by Garforth Cliff

Garden Centre.

Eric Clayton one of our oldest

clients along with volunteers did the

honours.

Following the death of Her Majesty

The Queen and the wishes of His

Majesty The King, the Queens Green

Canopy initiative will continue until

March 2023 giving others the

opportunity to plant trees.

Working with Leeds

Community Healthcare.

NHS Trust

NET has worked with NHS Community Healthcare NHS Trust for many years. We were contacted prior to the vaccine roll out to give our recommendations on the best way of rolling out vaccines to the elderly in our area. When the NHS Community Healthcare NHS Trust decided where and how inoculations would take place we were asked to arrange for volunteer support at the centres. It was important that all those offered a vaccination could do so safely and efficiently when attending centres. We continue to recommend every eligible person to have a vaccination including booster jabs. We continue to support Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust on various projects.

NET Continues to Support The

Community

Since March 2020 NET has not only supported the over 60’s and their carers but also with other members of the community needing support during the Covid epidemic. This now continues as we work with on the ENHANCE project. NET has secured funding for an exciting new project, ENHANCE, in collaboration between Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust (LCH) in partnership with Leeds Older People’s Forum to deliver The Enhanced Programme in NNT LS25/26 area. The programme will focus on people aged 60+ who have recently been discharged from hospital
