We Care Because You Care.
Every day, our nurses and healthcare assistants travel to homes across Gloucestershire. They knock on front doors, knowing that, behind each one, a family is facing the hardest times imaginable.
When Rich's mum needed nursing care, the funding wasn't yet confirmed, and he was in a blind panic. He called Longfield.
We told him what we tell every family: we're not going to stop the nurses coming. If we need to, we will fund it ourselves.
Because a family's need for care doesn't always fit neatly around when statutory funding is agreed. And thanks to people like you, we don't have to wait to find out before we say yes.
"It wasn't about us," Rich says. "It was about my mum. Making her comfortable, making sure she was as happy as she could be."
Thankfully, support from incredible people like you means we don't have to wait. Your generosity allows Longfield to say yes to people who need us, long before we find out whether funding is available.
Today, will you help us be there for another local family?
