The Hospice Online Christmas Market is proudly sponsored by;
Hospice of the Valleys needs you!
The enormity of the impact of COVID-19 on all of us is undeniable and Hospice of the Valleys has been and continues to be affected by this pandemic. The majority of our events and campaigns have either been cancelled or deferred and our shops faced a long period of closure, all having a massive impact on income generation.
With that, we have had to be creative in exploring alternative ways to generate income. We have been able to offer some campaigns and events virtually and this is why the Online Christmas Market is more vital than ever!
Whilst our doors may not have been physically open, we were quick to implement new ways of delivering our much-needed support. Our dedicated Nurses and Family Support Teams have been working tirelessly to ensure they are providing as many of our specialised services through where possible face-to-face visits, phone calls and zoom interactions to patients and their loved ones and reaching out to partners and providing emotional and bereavement support to care home staff.
Many of our patients are immunosuppressed and have an increased vulnerability. COVID-19 restrictions and isolation has seen access to some additional services removed for our patients resulting in heightened levels of anxiety and distress. Our Clinical Teams have continued to be there so support their mental and emotional well-being and in some extremely sad cases, making sure patients do not die alone.
Your support is needed now more than ever to help us continue to be there for our patients, loved ones and partners in the worrying winter months to come –Thank You!
