After spending time researching charities in the area, Think Specialist Recruitment has chosen The Pepper Foundation to partner with for 2013/2014. 

We were keen to choose a local charity and The Pepper Foundation provides a fantastic service to children across the Herts/Bucks area with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. By providing specialist field-based paediatric nurses to visit and support the children (and their families/siblings), the patients are able to spend this difficult time where they would choose to be - at home and with their family. 

Please see below for some further information on the Pepper Foundation and a link to their website. We are sure you will agree that this is an amazing charity to support and hope you will be help us in donating/raising funds over the coming months! 

A further update on our partnership with the Pepper Foundation will follow in early 2014.....

The Pepper Foundation

The Pepper Foundation is a local registered charity which funds specialist palliative nursing care in the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire areas for children and young people up to 19 years of age with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness. Pepper supports six full-time specialist paediatric nurses and a family support team.  They work with between 30 and 50 life-limited children and their families at any one time in the patients’ own home.  The service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year and this means that the families feel supported and in control; they know a nurse is never more than a phone call away.  In 2013/14 Pepper is hoping to recruit a clinical nurse specialist with expertise in palliative care to enable us to reach more children in West Hertfordshire.  The Pepper nursing service is provided at absolutely no cost to patients or their families.
