COVID-19: Chief Executive Statement – Thursday 5 November 2020
As we begin the new lockdown, we’d like to reassure you that St Luke’s excellent, compassionate care will continue for the people of Harrow and Brent.
We are committed to following government guidelines while maintaining all essential functions so that the Hospice continues to support the people of Harrow and Brent during this period and beyond.
Clinical Services
All of our clinical services and teams will continue to function to support as many people as we can during this time. Because of the overwhelming support of the local community, we are better prepared with a good stock of PPE and have put in place measures to make the Hospice a COVID secure environment.
Patient visits continue as they did during the initial lockdown – Visiting arrangements to the IPU
Shops
We have closed all 18 of our shops. We cannot accept shop donations at this time and ask you to please keep them aside at home, as we will gratefully accept them once we are allowed to reopen.
Our eBay shop will remain open and we encourage you to take a look – https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/stlukeshospice
Appeal to the public
St Luke’s Hospice is continuing to care for people at their homes and in the hospice. However, the second closure of our charity shops and the ongoing disruptions to our fundraising efforts may impact our ability to keep caring for people as we have been. We are asking for our local community to support us at this time.
Any donation that you can give large or small will enable us to continue to provide care for local people and keep protecting the NHS.
