IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF CARE

LEARN MORE

COVID-19 Statement Birmingham Care Group notes the difficult decision announced by the Government in respect of a national lockdown. We are committed to providing continued support to our community and will therefore continue to operate a normal service for the distribution of food parcels and cooked meals during the COVID-19 crisis.

A Few Words About Us
We believe our beneficiaries must receive good quality care and support that recognises individuals and their right to make informed choices. It is important to put the health and wellbeing of our citizens as a priority whilst protecting their dignity. We promote social interaction and encourage community cohesion regardless of age, gender, ethnic origin or religious beliefs. Following the recent COVID-19 outbreak, Birmingham Care Group are doing all that we can to protect against this virus and to keep our citizens safe. We have followed Government guidelines and have managed the risks to our staff, volunteers and families. There have been significant changes to how we support our community whilst adhering to the COVID-19 guidelines. This includes our Emergency Food Bank and Support Services.  Our focus is to continue to support our elderly and vulnerable citizens through these challenging times.

Day care Services
We offer day centre services to encourage our elders to interact with their peers in an informal social setting. Activities include music therapy, cognitive stimulation therapy and gentle exercises.
Community
We are best placed at the heart of our community here in Birmingham where we network with local non-profit organisations and businesses.  Our focus is to continue to promote community cohesion and social inclusion.

BCG Marketplace: On Fridays we are introducing the BCG marketplace where no membership is required. Citizens can attend and purchase fresh and ambient produce for as little at £1.00 per bag This is to ensure we do not exclude anyone whilst also recognising we have been running this project for over two years and must also plan on ways to become more sustainable as well as giving our beneficiaries back their dignity and respect.

BCG DAY CENTRE FACILITIES
We provide person centred day opportunities for members of our local community who are being cared for by their loved ones. The aim of our service is to support our service users to engage in a range of activities bespoke to their needs and preferences to provide opportunities for their self-development and achievement of outcomes which have a true meaning for them. Our service also provides the added value for informal carers to have a break from their caring role. Our focus as a service is to promote and encourage a healthier, active lifestyle whilst forming companionship within an informal but safe setting for our users. The COVID-19 virus has seen the temporary closure of our day centre but we remain committed in keeping in contact with our elderly and vulnerable citizens, in particular those who live independently.  This helps with their mental health and wellbeing.  We deliver food parcels, essential items and medications when needed.  By having this contact they do not feel lonely and isolated during these difficult times.
