🌟 Apprenticeship Week - 9th - 15th February 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating Apprenticeship Week and the incredible impact apprenticeships have across our organisation!

Apprenticeships provide valuable opportunities to learn, grow, and develop skills while making a real difference to the people and communities we support. They help us grow our own talent, build strong careers, and invest in the future of our workforce.

A huge thank you to all of our apprentices - past and present, and to the managers and teams who support them every step of the way 👏

We’ll be sharing some inspiring success stories throughout the week, so keep an eye out! ✨

💬 Time to Talk Day | Thursday, 5 February 2026

In health and social care, we are experts at looking after others - but it’s time to make space for our own mental health.

Let’s lead by example and break the silence. Whether you are on shift, in the community, or working from home, take five minutes to:

• ☕ Chat over a cuppa with a colleague.
• 📱 Text a teammate just to check in.
• 🚶 Walk and talk during your break.

Small conversations save lives and build a more supportive workplace.

Sharing some good news about one of our service users:

Cleethorpes Library is hosting a wonderful art exhibition this week by local artist Alan Hopkins, who is supported by our fantastic Carers Wellbeing Team.

Alan recently held a meet‑and‑greet, and it was a real pleasure to see the exhibition coming together while spending time with Alan, his supporters, and, of course, his brother Malcolm, who is always by his side. Alan’s drawings and paintings are beautifully displayed, and it was lovely to see members of the public enjoying the exhibition and chatting with him about his creative process.

Proudly self‑taught, Alan explains that he paints from memory and is inspired by “anything that takes his fancy.” This instinctive, personal approach shines through in his work and makes it incredibly hard to pick a favourite piece.

The exhibition will be on display at Cleethorpes Library until lunchtime on Thursday, and we’d highly recommend popping in if you can; it’s well worth a visit.

Alan has been supported throughout by Jordan and Steve from Keyring, alongside Nicola from the Carers Wellbeing Team (CLDT). A huge thank you also goes to Anna and the team at Cleethorpes Library for helping to make the exhibition such a success.

CIU Goes Green with New Solar Panel Installation

As part of our ongoing commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and building a more sustainable future for our communities, we’re pleased to share that solar panels have now been installed on our Community Inpatient Unit.

Since the installation, we have generated 4,346.20kw of power and we are using 100% of the energy we are generating. The energy we have saved is the equivalent of planting 51 trees!

This investment supports our Green Plan by helping decarbonise our estate through renewable energy generation, lowering our reliance on traditional utilities, and reducing long term operating costs for the organisation.

We look forward to sharing the positive impact this will have on our energy use and environmental footprint going forward.

We’re proud to share that in 2025 our Welfare Benefit Team has helped secure an incredible £5,081,165.46 in financial support for people across North East Lincolnshire - along with 227 Blue Badges to support mobility and independence. 💙

The team supports anyone with a life limiting illness, cancer patients in treatment (curative) as well as palliative and end of life patients, helping them maximise their quality of life.

As part of our wider Palliative care team, they provide practical advice and hands on support with benefit claims, fuel poverty and utility challenges, funeral cost assistance, and complex benefit or housing issues.

👏 A huge thank you to the team for making such a difference to local people and their families.

A Generous Donation Supporting Our Palliative Care Services 💙

We are incredibly grateful to share that our palliative care services have received a very generous £6,000 donation from a local family.

Thanks to this donation, The Haven Team has been able to purchase vital new equipment, including three syringe drivers, helping to enhance comfort and symptom management for patients receiving end‑of‑life care. In addition, the funding has enabled the team to purchase care packages to support individuals and families during these difficult times.

Whilst the family has asked to remain anonymous, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for their generosity.

It's difficult to get the whole team together for a photo so pictured below and just some members of the Haven Team.
