Fantastic Fundraising Effort!
Huge congratulations to all out Ilkeston homes for their fantastic achievement in raising £250 through selling their cupcakes. Everyone worked so hard and the end results looked and tasted fantastic. Some would say this has been the icing on the cake of our lockdown so far…but that would be a bit cheesy wouldn’t it! Congratulations team Ilkeston – what a fantastic effort.
Getting all too hot in this mini heatwave…
Here are some simple yet fab tips for keeping cool at night in the heatwave.
• Preparation is key, so keep blinds shut during the day/evening to block out sunlight and keep your room as cool as possible.
• Cool your body temperature down with a cold shower before bed to feel more refreshed.
• Alternatively, you can run your wrists under cool water to also help drop your temperature before going to sleep.
• Make sure you keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Dehydration is a common cause of sleepless nights, so keep a glass of cold water by your bed in case you wake up hot and thirsty.
Celebrating Father’s Day…
All our homes will be receiving lots of messages and best wishes today as we celebrate Father’s Day. We will be making sure that all the dads we are caring for have an extra special day and are spoilt rotten! How will you be celebrating your Dad’s special day?
Paying tribute to Dame Vera Lynn…
Many of our residents were saddened today to hear of the death of Dame Vera Lynn. Whilst she undoubtedly lived an amazing and long life which deserves to be celebrated it is always sad when a national icon passes.
For so many of our residents, across all our homes, she will be remembered as someone who was a shining light during a time of crisis. She became the nation’s sweetheart over three-quarters of a century ago during the Second World War and has remained in many people’s hearts ever since.
Today our residents would like to pay tribute to her and to thank her for all she has done for their spirits over many years, giving not only enjoyment but also hope to so many.
Be kind online
NOS’s guide on being kind is an essential read for all parents and children using the internet. It suggests disassociating yourself from pack mentality, learning self-empathy and how to offer help online.

Register for help if you are at high risk..
The government is asking people who have a medical condition that makes them extremely vulnerable to coronavirus to register for help during the current situation. For example, you’ll be able to ask for help getting deliveries of essential supplies like food.
If you’re not sure whether your medical condition makes you extremely vulnerable, register anyway.You can register yourself, or on behalf of someone else.
We would urge all people who feel they may fall into the category of extremely vulnerable to register on the government site.
