🕰️ Time to Fall Back! 🍂
Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour tonight! Daylight Saving Time ends, giving us an extra hour of rest (or productivity!). Remember to reset any clocks around the house so you’re on time tomorrow!
⏰ Fall Back
🗓️ Tonight
💤 Enjoy the extra hour!

👻 Avon & Somerset Police have created posters to help vulnerable individuals & those who prefer not to participate in Halloween festivities to signal trick-or-treaters that they are not participating but hope they have a Spooktacular time anyway. These posters can be displayed on front doors or windows & are available for download on the Avon & Somerset Police website. This can help make Halloween night feel safer & more comfortable for those who may feel anxious or prefer not to engage with trick-or-treaters.
If any of our clients or carers would like one we do have a few available in the office 😊

🦽 Do you have a wheelchair, crutches, or walking frame gathering dust? If you have Medequip Community Equipment Service community equipment, now is the perfect time to return it!

Returning your equipment can make a big difference:

🌟 Help others in need
🌟 Save care services and the NHS money on replacements
🌟 Reduce waste by reusing and recycling

All returned equipment is cleaned, refurbished and rehomed. To request a collection, contact [email protected]. Let's make a positive impact together! 🌍💚

🧠 World Mental Health Day 2024 🧠

At Care Wyvern, we know that caring for others starts with caring for ourselves. That’s why we offer an Employee Assistance Programme, powered by BrightHR, to support the wellbeing of our amazing team.

Let’s take a moment today to prioritise mental health, for ourselves & for each other 💙
