Community Integrated Care have undertaken a full diversity audit, carried out by independent experts. This has involved people from across all levels and roles within our charity, with one-to-one interviews, surveys and virtual focus groups – giving people the opportunity to share their lived experiences and tell their stories. All of this knowledge has led to an incredible piece of work that we’re immensely proud of – A Place I Belong – Community Integrated Care’s Diversity & Inclusion Plan 21/22.

We know that actions speak louder than words, so this plan outlines exactly how we’ll bring our ambitions to life through a series of activities and recommendations over the next year to ensure we’re a fair, inclusive and equal organisation for everyone.

Community Integrated Care are inviting Rugby League fans with a passion for crafting to take part in a special new Rugby League World Cup 2021 inspired project – knitting bonnets for babies who are born prematurely.

We have launched a unique new programme, which will see hundreds of Rugby League World Cup 2021 themed bonnets knitted and donated to specialist NHS hospitals within tournament communities.

The project is being led by volunteers participating in our ground-breaking inclusive volunteering partnership with the Rugby League World Cup 2021, which enables people who have care and support needs to take part in exciting and fulfilling volunteering projects.

Community Integrated Care believes that the people we support should have the same rights as anyone else to reuse, reduce and recycle. That’s why we’re proud to launch the first accessible guide to recycling for people with care and support needs. 

In this guide, which has been developed especially for Community Integrated Care by Tim Holmes, a health and wellbeing specialist, you’ll learn easy to adopt tips to enjoy a healthier lifestyle, both in your home and work life.

Community Integrated Care has teamed up with the RFL and Rugby League World Cup 2021 to create a special Rugby League Arts and Activity Pack.

From designing your own shirt to making a mascot, this free resource offers a host of fun and accessible activities to enjoy at home

The publication takes inspiration from the upcoming Rugby League World Cup 2021, with creative challenges including ‘Design a Flag’ and a Wheelchair Rugby League colouring-in exercise. It also gives you the chance to become a Head Coach and pick your dream seventeen from any players from around the globe.

This free toolkit has been specially created by the three partners to support our local communities, offering a fun, stimulating and accessible activity for people to enjoy at home whilst they self-isolate.

The Rugby Football League, in partnership with the national social care charity, Community Integrated Care, and Leeds Rhinos Foundation have launched the #ActiveAtHome initiative, for everyone to keep active during this difficult time.

The #ActiveAtHome project is designed to help everyone keep active and improve their health and fitness in a safe environment during the current climate. The new initiative is inclusive to all so anyone can join in no matter what current level of fitness you may have.

The accessible #ActiveAtHome toolkit incorporates accessible mobility exercises, stretches and 15 individual exercises and activities demonstrated by Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s Health team that can be done in the safety of your home. The online resource includes a step-by-step user guide and a selection of videos to help those taking part.

Participants can adapt and create their own workout from the toolkit and each Monday there will be a weekly challenge or specific exercise to focus on with those taking part encouraged to share the work they are doing and provide feedback using #ActiveAtHome.

Community Integrated Care’s Quality Advisors developed a special publication, sharing with people who work in the social care sector their advice on how to support people to participate and vote.

Quality Advisors are people supported, and employed by, Community Integrated Care to help us make sure the voice of the people we support is heard when our charity makes important decisions.

The guide was developed at a fun and creative workshop where our Quality Advisors discussed how politics affects their lives and how people can be enabled to vote. It gives creative and easy to adopt advice on how best to support people to cast their vote.
