Care Anchor

Care Anchor Care for yourself in the best possible way and to be the best caregiver you want to be! We've got you! My Carer Mission. And this is why Care Anchor was born.

As a carer myself, I believe in quality care and fair treatment for care workers. Having worked in dementia care for 9 years as a carer and in carer support, I know only too well the need for more recognition, fair pay, decent training, and a safer working environment. But above all the need to feel supported heard and valued. Here are some of the messages iv received from carers, on social media so far

" I work long hours with no breaks some days. When I need a day off, I feel terrible guilt letting down those I care for "

" There is no time in my life to make time for me. I work 12-hour shifts, sometimes 13/14 by the time I get home and then iv my own family to look after. I feel worn out a lot"

" Working through the pandemic was the hardest thing iv ever had to face"

" I worked for a care 28-bed care home, mostly double-handers with no proper training. I feel like I was thrown into the deep end and unfortunately, I sank. The stress was too much "

"I'm 100% for CCTV in care homes. Working with dementia and especially challenging behaviors can mean we are also vulnerable at times "

Is it any wonder so many carers are facing burnout. And so ( because I can't do this alone ) iv searched for a group of incredible people, who have a background in care and want to share their knowledge and passion for better conditions for carers with you. Carers " You are Enough"

You must understand that sometimes there are days that you're not in the mood to talk to anyone even if it's your relatives and your closest friends.

You will ignore talking to a certain someone in person, on phone calls, on chat conversations, even on social media.

Not because you don't care and not because you're in a bad mood either but because sometimes your mind and body craves silence and inner peace.
Sometimes, there are days that your soul needs silence and solitude for you to figure things out.

I want you to know that if you find yourself spacing out and distancing yourself from other people it doesn't mean that you're a bad and mean person.
You're a human and it's okay to have a meltdown and you don't owe anyone explanations for prioritizing what your soul deserves.

Never seen a carers strike have you ?

Junior doctors have launched a five-day strike today in what is being described as the longest walkout of its kind in the history of the NHS. Members of the BMA in England will mount picket lines from 7am on Thursday, amid the continuing dispute over pay in the NHS. Has your hospital treatment been disrupted today? Do you support the strike?

Today we said a sad farewell to one of our original choir members, Bob. Bob loved his time with Our Dementia Choir with his wife Trish, and Our Dementia Choir sang loud and proud at his funeral today. We made lots of memories together - goodnight Bob, may you rest in peace – you will stay in our hearts always.

Donations in memory of Bob can be made on the following link:

Now that's impressive 👌 👏

In a year, we have saved more than 40,867kg of surplus food that was destined to landfills, that's the equivalent of 8 African elephants!

We are celebrating our first year since we opened on the 11th June 2022. We are thrilled with all of the effort and hard work everyone has put into the project to make our community fridge the success that it is today. We thank all of our volunteers, all of the donations received and You! Thank you for keep visiting the community fridge, for helping us saving food from going to waste and for embracing us as part of the wonderful community of Folkestone.
