Dignity Action Day - Whats occurring?

We at Sycamore Cottage Care Home in Basingstoke have been talking to our residents and family and friends and we all decided that we will have a three day event as I was told one day was not enough. So for the Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be pamper days Obvioously hair and nail care but we will be offereing hand and nail massages . On the actual day we are going to have a High Digni Tea . We are starting to make our own decorations . Everyone is looking forward to the events . I can only say a big thankyou to everyone at Sycamore Cottage for all the help and enthusiasm . Cannot wait to send photo ,s . hope to get lots . I am so looking forward myself

I currently manage a domiciliary care a team in Harrogate , we will be supporting dignity action day by involving the clients in the community and getting them involved by making a dignity tree , each person will be provided with a leaf so they can write a few lines or poem to tell us how they are treated with dignity and respect.

That sounds like a brilliant idea Laura . Good luck and enjoy the day

I wanted the children do' s cards. Not getting any relplys. Iv got local school coming in to help us with the tree. Would be nice to give them the cards.

Hi Warwickshire County Council has started a variety of activities to launch Dignity Day. We are using the Dignity Logo on our signatures, having a Tea afternoon in the office, developing a dignity newsletter to share information and advice with providers and then asking them to send in articles of what they achieved on the day for us to advertise on the council web site and finally we are having a dignity in the office,asking staff how they can improve dignity in the workplace supporting social care.

Thank you, Also would it be possible if we could have a key speaker come in to represent Dignity itself and give a little speech and share your passion of your charity? Please contact me on 07724768954

At Langdale care homes we will be celebrating dignity day by having Digni-Tea mornings and adding red wish balloons to our existing dignity trees.
All the leaves on our Digni-trees have quotes from residents families and visitors with what dignity means to them.
Our balloons will have their wishes for the future added to the trees.
As spring arrives our trees will have blossom and flowers added to them painted and decorated by our residents and staff, as dignity isn't just for one day but blooms and blossoms as days go by.

I have very carefully checked the emails and do not appear to have received anything from you, regarding wristbands or childrens cards. If you send an email to [log in to view email address], saying what you are looking for I am sure we will be able to help.

I have checked and have sent to the right place. Is there any chance I could pick them up from somewhere

I am really sorry Khateeja buit I still can't find anything that tells me what you want could you possibly send the email again, with the details of what you want.

For Dignity Action Day on 1st February 2017 at Warwickshire County Council, we held a Digni-tea event, where we had tea and cakes for all staff. During the event we had a collection and raised £41.11 for the National Dignity Council.
As a team we have encouraged staff to become Dignity Champions and have shared with them the process to get signed up.
We produced and sent out a newsletter for all our providers for them to share their stories and give them ideas for their Dignity Action Day.
We also had a Dignity Tree in our coffee area on the day and the days following the event where people could write what Dignity means to them, we had lots of leaves placed on the tree and people keen to get involved. I have attached some photos of our Dignity Tree with this message.
