We know that sometimes people have skills and expertise that will benefit the hospice but aren’t in a position to commit to a role regularly. We welcome people offerint ot share their expertise with us.
If you think you can offer something that might help us now or in the future, please contact peopleservices@edenvalleyhospice.org for a chat.
Hospice care is heavily regulated and understanding others’ experience can help us to better prepare for future audits, reviews and inspections.
In December 2024 Eddie Hoult a social care consultant with UpEd visited the hospice to view the premises and our processes and provided some improvement feedback.
In November 2022 Gavin Slater and Rhia Heron from North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust shared their experiences of inspection.
We have recently refreshed our logo. We were prompted to do this as part of our Jigsaw refurbishment. Our new logos are bright, warm and clear with improved accessibility. This work was done by Carlisle designer Anthony Ferguson who volunteered his design skills for free.
In August 2023 Broadcaster Val Armstrong joined us as an ambassador for the hospice. She has hosted events and shared her experiences in the public eye with our volunteers at the annual thank you event.
In January 2023 Nick Jackson from the North of England Commissioning Support Unit volunteered his time to support us to think through future outreach offers.
Centrica performance improvement manager, Jonny Latta, has supported us with practical support with British Gas team days. He has also offered one to one coaching sessions for some of our team leads to help develop their leadership skills.
