Financial and Personal Assistance
The QNI offers a range of financial and personal assistance to community nurses in need.
A recent example
'Elizabeth', a 43 year old Health Visitor suffering from breast cancer endured a number of disabling side-effects from her drug treatments, which prevented her from returning to work. When Elizabeth’s boiler broke down not only was she left without hot water for herself and her two children, but without the means to pay for its repair.
We were able to award Elizabeth £1,875 for a new boiler. Elizabeth’s health is improving and she is hoping to be able to resume work in the very near future.
Other examples of how we have helped
- A one- off payment to enable a victim of domestic abuse to put a deposit down on a new home.
- Contributing towards a new wheelchair for a disabled community midwife.
- Helping an isolated elderly Queen’s Nurse with car running costs.
- Enabling a retired District nurse living in a nursing home to keep in touch with family and friends by paying her phone bills.
