Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of health','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

The Charity’s main objective continues to be to carry out respite care and personal care: (i) to relieve stress on the persons or family caring for physically or mentally disabled or elderly persons, and (ii) in appropriate circumstances, to care for disabled or elderly persons living alone. In furtherance of these objectives, the charity aims to support people in their own homes through the employment, on a full-time or part-time basis, of approved home care attendants. These attendants provide respite for carers of people of all age groups, and support those who are frail or elderly, who have a physical disability, mental illness, learning disability or dementia. They are able to alleviate the stress which carers experience as a result of care responsibilities and they undertake a range of tasks to enable people to remain independent and living at home for as long as possible.

Objectives: The objects of the Scheme are generally to carry out within the area in which the Scheme operates the objects of the Company, and in particular: 5.1 to relieve stress on the person or family caring for physically or mentally disabled or elderly persons, and 5.2 in appropriate circumstances to care for disabled or elderly persons living alone. The area within which the Scheme operates may not be varied other than in accordance with Clause 7 of the Memorandum.
