SUMMARY:Introduction to Namaste Care - June workshop
DESCRIPTION:Taking place on Wednesday 25th June 2025 from 2pm to 4pm\, this introductory course is taking place online via Zoom. It is intended for anyone who supports someone who is living with advanced dementia\, across West Essex and East Hertfordshire.  \nThe ‘Introduction to Namaste Care’ workshop aims to train and empower both unpaid carers and paid care staff to deliver high-quality\, compassionate care to local people living with advanced dementia. \nWhat is Namaste Care? \n‘Namaste Care’ is an internationally-recognised care programme which teaches you to use simple activities that include sensory stimulation of our five senses (touch\, hearing\, sight\, smell and taste) to help people with dementia connect and engage with others. The word ‘Namaste’ is a Hindi greeting that means to ‘honour the spirit within\,’ and is the guiding principle of Namaste Care. Multi-sensory activities can involve music\, food and drink and can also include therapeutic touch and massage. These basic principles are simple to learn and easy to put into practice when caring for someone with dementia. \nFollowing on from this introductory course\, attendees will be invited to join a Namaste Network Group\, where they will be able to share best practice\, successes and learning points from putting Namaste care into practice within the caring work environment. \n\nBook your place today\nThis face-to-face workshop is free to attend\, but booking is essential to secure a place.  \nFor information and to book\, please call Joanne Morrison\, Dementia Support Service Coordinator on 07534 031702 or email dementia@stclarehospice.org.uk \n\n\nAlzheimer’s Society ‘Working to Become Dementia Friendly’ Accreditation\nIn January 2024\, St Clare Hospice were recognised by the Alzheimer’s Society and awarded ‘Working to Become Dementia Friendly’ accreditation\, as a result of our commitment to improving the experience of people living with dementia\, their families and carers.

SUMMARY:Advance Care Planning/Care for the Dying study afternoon
DESCRIPTION:Increase your confidence\, skills and knowledge of caring for people who are actively dying at this face-to-face education workshop led by St Clare Hospice on Wednesday 9th April 2025.  \nThis afternoon study session has been designed to equip regional healthcare professionals to initiate Advance Care Planning (ACP) discussions skillfully and in a timely manner\, and to use the most appropriate ACP documentation available to their practice.\n\nThe second half will focus on caring for dying patients. The goals of care during the last days and hours of life are to ensure comfort and dignity. But\, quite often identifying when patients are at this stage of life can be challenging for healthcare professionals\, particularly if they do not have expertise in palliative care.  \nWith this in mind\, our study afternoon here at St Clare Hospice will address topics covering: \n\nInitiating ACP discussions\nUsing key ACP documentation\, such as ReSPECT and P(e)ACE templates\nDiagnosing dying\nMedication consideration in the last days/weeks of life\n\n\nFor more information\, or to book your place\, email training@stclarehospice.org.uk

SUMMARY:Trek across the Great Wall of China in aid of St Clare Hospice: October 2024
DESCRIPTION:Tick the Great Wall of China off your ‘bucket list’ and complete a charity trek for St Clare this October!\nAn overview of the Great Wall of China trek\nTake on a majestic trekking adventure (12th – 20th October 2024) and conquer the twists\, turns\, steps and slopes of this formidable and iconic Wonder of the World – the renowned Great Wall. Stretching for 21\,196 km\, it zig zags its way across China\, snaking across mountains and through valleys. \nThe Great Wall of China Trek for charity is a fantastic 9 day hike\, covering approximately 35km\, along this awesome man made structure. One of the best in charity treks\, this once in a lifetime challenge takes you over watchtowers and mountains\, through historic battlement stations to witness magnificient panoramas of luscious\, rolling green hills as far as the eye can see! \nThe trekking on this charity challenge is hard\, due to the amount of steps you’ll trek up and down each day – it can sometimes take an hour just to trek 1km on this glorious structure! Another highlight of this challenge is to conquer the 1\,000 steps up to the wall at Mutianyu – culminating with the ascent of the ‘Heavenly Ladder’. \nFollowing this crème de la crème of charity events\, we’ll have some free time to explore Beijing’s famous sites\, such as the Forbidden City\, Tiananmen Square and the beautiful Temple of Heaven before celebrating our achievement at dinner. \nAn ancient wonder\, an amazing accomplishment…join St Clare Hospice on this charity challenge to remember! \nI’m ready to register for the Great Wall of China trek \n\nCosts and fundraising\n\nPayment Option A – Minimum Sponsorship*\n\nYou pay the non-refundable registration fee (£299) to Global Adventure Challenges. This is used to run your challenge\, and to secure relevant permits. You then will commit to raising the minimum sponsorship of £3\,290* for St Clare Hospice. \nThe challenge costs will be paid for you by St Clare out of the sponsorship raised. Do try and raise as much as you can\, as every penny you raise over the minimum sponsorship will be donated to St Clare. \nYou can raise your sponsorship by setting up a JustGiving page. If you’d like to support with this\, our friendly Fundraising team will be more than happy to help. You can get in contact with our Fundraising team by emailing fund@stclarehospice.org.uk or calling 01279 773750. \n*Please note: St Clare Hospice will need to have received 80% of the minimum sponsorship no later than 12 weeks before departure. Failure to do so may mean non-participation in the challenge. The remaining 20% will then need to be donated to St Clare at least 24 hours before you depart on Saturday 12th October 2024. \n\nPayment Option B – Self-Funding\n\nThis option provides a more relaxed approach to funding your challenge\, as you’ll be responsible for funding the entire challenge yourself and will not be committed to raising a set sponsorship total.  \nYou will pay the non-refundable registration fee (£299) to Global Adventure Challenges and will then be required to pay the challenge balance no later than 12 weeks before the challenge date. \nIf you choose to take on payment option B\, you can set your own fundraising goal on your very own JustGiving page. \n\nAdditional costs\n\nThere are additional costs for the Great Wall of China charity trek\, including a £250 airport tax and fuel surcharge and an optional single occupancy supplement of £450. \n\nRegistering for the Great Wall of China trek\nAt St Clare\, we’re here to support you through each step of your fundraising journey so we’d love to hear from you. \nMaybe you’d like to chat about why you’re considering embarking on this challenge or to let us know you’ve pressed all the buttons\, filled in the forms and registered yourself for this unforgettable charity trek on the Global Adventure Challenges website! \nEither way\, you can get in touch with our Relationship Fundraising Manager Ellie Gale by calling 01279 773750 or emailing ellie.gale@stclarehospice.org.uk. \nIf you’d like to start your registration journey for this charity challenge\, visit the Global Adventure Challenges website by clicking the button below. \nClick here to register for the Great Wall of China trek   \n\nFor more information on the 2024 Great Wall of China trek\nThe Global Adventure Challenges website will have the full range of information you need to make your decision about undertaking this charity trek.
