Home from hospital? That’s when the next stage of recovery really begins.

Our latest blog explores why practical, joined-up support after hospital discharge matters — and how Staywell’s Home from Hospital service in Kingston borough helps people regain confidence, reduce risk and settle safely back at home.

— We're looking for a new green-thumbed member of staff to join our Handyperson service 🏡

Perhaps you fancy working outdoors, want to do some good locally by supporting older and vulnerable people in Kingston Borough, or maybe you've simply run out of projects around the house and need to find your next DIY fix — either way, you might be just the sort of person we're looking for!

Your day-to-day will be as varied as the needs of our clients, but will primarily consist of everyday garden maintenance: lawn mowing , cutting back overgrown plants, clearances, weeding, and so on. There will also be some simple DIY tasks in this role, either during the colder off-season months or to help cover for other members of the Handyperson team when they are unwell or on leave.

Head to the 'Current Vacancies' page on our website for more info, or give us a call on 020 8942 8256 for a chat about the role. You can also send questions or applications to [email protected]. Early applications are encouraged, so please help us spread the word ❤

— Found some wisdom from the another era in our archives recently...

It is a fundraising tip from 1954 we’re still laughing about: 'to get the best results when making house-to-house calls, first make sure the TV programme isn’t a general favourite'

(There was only one channel then. Genius!)

Happy Monday! Made all the better by the cooler weather finally making a return. Not sure who is more grateful — our members and team of staff and volunteers, or the day centre houseplants 🤔

Either way, have a good week all ❤️

What better way to beat the heat than a morning with Raleigh's Scrabble Club?

(The competition isn't usually as fierce as it looks here — thankfully we had our dictionary hand to help keep it all above board!)
