Covid 19 Emergency Fund and Crisis Grant Fund
You may be aware of the normal hardship grant available for care staff ; however you may not be aware that an additional line of support has been launched to cover any staff who work in social care who may be struggling financially due to Covid 19. For example, somebody on SSP or who is self-isolating unpaid.

when you do is the most gut-wrenching pain I’ve ever felt in my life.”

At a time when even grieving is impacted by social distancing, a family has come up with the idea of displaying a yellow heart to show the loss of a loved one due to Covid-19. Let’s support each other in this time where grieving may be more difficult than normal and put up a yellow heart in remembrance of those that are gone but not forgotten.
What can you do?
Never be afraid to talk about death after all it is a major part of the grieving process.
