Carnforth has a small Integrated Care Community; their Nurse (Case Manager) predominantly works with older patients in the local area to ensure that people are safe at home, have access to services and local resources to help make life easier as they age and to keep people out of hospital. Carnforth ICC were seeking funding to enable them to prepare and distribute Christmas hampers to some of the individuals that they have worked with during the year, to let them know that they are thinking of them at this time of year and encourage them to eat nutritious, healthy and filling meals; especially as the nights get darker and the weather cools. Often patients can be isolated and elderly and the small gift of a hamper can help brighten their Christmas whilst also ensuring that they have some of the necessities to keep them well and warm. They try to ensure that they include items that have longevity, ensure the basics are available, offer a treat, are warming and nutrient dense. They do their best to stretch the funds as far as possible so that numerous patients can benefit.
