Celebrating our monthly colleague rewards…

Rhiannah started with us under our ‘new to care’
programme in September of last year. She has been a tremendous support to a client especially over the past 6 months.

This was the wonderful feedback we received from a client she supports, and a photo of her proud and happy face for the recognition.

Thank you Rhiannah for all of your efforts and for trying so hard to get things right for the people you support.

The compassionate cafes are such a wonderful support to so many. Please see the link in the post below for your local cafe.

This Grief Awareness Week we are encouraging you to find comfort in conversation.

When someone close to you has died it is easy to close yourself off and feel alone. Our Compassionate Cafés provide a safe and informal environment to meet and talk to others.

We now have a number of community-led cafés providing weekly drop-ins throughout Plymouth and the surrounding areas. Each café takes on a life of its own, with conversations with strangers often leading to friendships and mutual support.

Find your local café here: https://www.stlukes-hospice.org.uk/compassionatecafes/

Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let’s celebrate people of all abilities.

What are some challenges people with disabilities face?

- Accessibility challenges – e.g. buildings without ramps, narrow doorways, and inaccessible restrooms.
- Social inclusion challenges – e.g. feeling excluded from community or social activities.
- Discrimination – e.g. limited employment opportunities.

Let’s work together to combat some of these challenges and create a world that is more inclusive and welcoming for everyone 💜

As temperatures drop, let’s take care of ourselves and our loved ones and make sure we are all keeping warm this time of year ❄︎

Here are some tips to keep warm:

🧣 Layer up – coats, hoodies, socks… pile all the layers on. Did you know most body heat escapes from our neck and head? Don’t forget that scarf and hat!

🌡️ Stay warm at home – make sure your boiler has been serviced and use door sweeps to prevent drafts.

🍲 Eat and drink well – soups, stews and teas can be great options to warm you up.

November marks Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.

We’ve mentioned symptoms below, but what are some risk factors?

• If you are aged 65 or over
• If you smoke
• If you are overweight
• If you have a family history of pancreatic cancer
• If you have pancreatitis
• If you have diabetes

*Having one or more risk factor does not mean you will definitely get this cancer.

Don’t know where to start to reduce your risk? You can start by quitting smoking if you smoke, maintaining a healthy weight if you’re overweight and limiting your alcohol intake if you drink.

Knowledge = prevention 💜
