What we do - Aims

Helen's Trust aims to help people with an incurable illness to stay in their own home.

The Trust will endeavour to fund whatever it takes to achieve this aim, for example: nursing care, sitters, help to run the house, care for others living in the home, equipment or complementary therapy.

This help is available to anyone registered at one of the following practices:

In the Hope Valley/Matlock area:

The surgeries based in Baslow, Bakewell, Eyam, Hope (Hathersage), Darley Dale (Winster and Youlgreave), Matlock and Tideswell.

In the Sheffield area:

Wincobank Surgery, The Bluebell Surgery, Firth Park Surgery, Dunninc Road Surgery, Shiregreen Surgery, Barnsley Rd Surgery, Page Hall Medical Centre and Upwell Street Surgery.  Then from 1st January 2009 Burngreave Surgery, Pitsmoor Surgery and Sheffield Medical Centre; and from 1st July 2009 Buchanan Road Surgery, Elm Lane Surgery and Norwood Medical Centre will join the project.

This will be provided with no charge to the individual but the funding is expected to be applied for after statutory bodies have been approached. Please contact your surgery.
