The Guru Nanak Nam Ladies Jatha has funded an incredible three My Life units for the use of elderly patients and staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham through consistent weekly collections at their meetings. The generosity of the group is so great that there have been weeks where over £1,000 has been collectel, with the group raising over an incredible £10,000 in total.
The My Life units enable patients with dementia to communicate more effectively with staff and loved ones, providing interactive software to help encourage dialogue and aid memory. The software has been developed by carers for carers, helping keep care focussed on the patient and their wellbeing.
Nirmal Notay, member of the group, said: “We are delighted to be able to help patients and staff at the QE in such a tangible manner, and hope to continue our support further into the future.”
Laura Power, Senior Fundraiser at QEHB Charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful of the ongoing support from the Guru Nanak Nam Ladies Jatha; the My Life units can make such a difference to patients with dementia and help them to remember precious memories that they may not have been able to resurface without the aid of this technology. On behalf of QEHB Charity, I want to thank the group for their hard work and dedication in regard to helping patients and staff at the QE.”
