Blackburn with Darwen Carers Service:
We ran specialised wellbeing and
self-care programmes, for 31 unpaid carers. Feedback from staff included:
“The programme was appropriate
to the very diverse needs of our
groups including older people,
Asian carers and single parents.
Their approach has been authentic
and really makes people feel at
ease.
I’d rather work with someone who
has real experience like Karen – she
has real understanding, empathy
and insight.”
Hyndburn Council:
We are a
Hyndburn COVID-19 Community
Champion. This is a Hyndburn
Borough Council initiative, to deliver a
range of initiatives to
enhance communications and
develop networks which will
support those disproportionally
affected by Covid.
Feedback included: “It is wonderful
to see this 12 week program
supporting those with long-COVID
helping those most in need in
Hyndburn. We are really happy to
support this work and collaborate
with BHB as their knowledge and
expert services are exactly what
our communities need at this
difficult time.”
Blackburn with Darwen Council:
We ran a long-COVID peer-support group ‘Train the Trainer’ course. Feedback from management included:
"I think it might be useful for us to provide feedback on how the sessions go in BWD, which would provide you with examples of how Train the Trainer supports organisations to set up their own"
Feedback from participants:
"The course has really helped raise my awareness of the impact of long covid on individuals and also the challenges they face, the help that is needed & how to effectively provide support."
"The impact of long-COVID from people who have lived experience, this has enriched the course."
"Really enjoyed the sessions."
