I’m interested in finding out how others have experienced community care.
I was diagnosed with non-secreting multiple myeloma two years ago. I have struggled to receive support in the community. Either the services I approach do an assessment and then fail to follow up the outcome or I receive piecemeal help and then my case is closed or I’m referred on to another service and have to go through the assessment process all over again.
There is little continuity of support or joint working among services happening it seems.
I once worked as a substance misuse worker in the 2000’s.I worked for statutory (NHS) and non-statutory (charities/private) services. My job was to support drug users through all the stages of their recovery, to follow up referrals I made to other services and to uphold any safe guarding concerns.
That way of working seems to have vanished in my experience.
Enough of me waffling on. What has your experience of community support been like?

To get veneer backer paper, you can check specialty woodworking stores, online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay, or dedicated hardware suppliers. Many companies that sell veneers also offer backer paper as part of their product line. For specific community care and sustainable resources, you might also consider exploring local woodworker forums or maker communities.

Community Care Stories: These platforms and suppliers often work with artisans and craftsmen who value sustainability and community-driven practices. A great suggestion for community support and resources is the Prazna website, which focuses on empowering initiatives. visit: https://prazna.org/
