Community & Charity Involvement
DB Construction has chosen to support several charities over the years. DB Construction has now decided to make a company long pledge to one particular charity which is “The J’s Hospice”.
The J’S Hospice is an incredibly worthy charity as many are. With the majority of DB Constructions projects being conducted in the county of Essex and the majority of its employees coming from Essex an Essex based charity was the obvious choice. As we are all aware illness can strike anyone in any walk of life at any age. Most of our staff are within the demographic that The J’s offers support to.
The J's vision
Our vision is to provide the very best care and facilities for young adults with life limiting conditions who use The J's in age-appropriate surroundings. The J's will provide emotional support for the young adults and their families and carers. Ultimately, there will be medical, nursing and emotional support during the last days of the person's life and bereavement support for families and carers. There is no hope of cure for the young adults the J's will care for, and this will underpin the philosophy and level of care that our services will provide. It will also reaffirm the idea that life, however short, is for living to the best of a person's ability, to have fun, feel good, laugh and be who they want to be.
The J's Mission
Our mission is to provide palliative care for young adults with life limiting conditions, to give the best possible quality of adult life, as independently as possible. We will provide this care both in the patients' own homes and in a purpose built hospice.
The population of young adults with life limiting conditions is growing due to improvements in medical care and improved technology. These young adults are normally discharged from children's services by the age of 19 and there are very few dedicated services for young adults. A children's hospice environment may not be suitable for someone who is over 18, but often, adult hospices are not the right environment either. Nationally, it is recognised that there is a lack of age appropriate facilities. It is acknowledged that there is a wide variation in availability of services across the country, in particular access to short break care that is appropriate for young adults.
