UK Power Networks and The Juliet O Foundation Partnership

Customer story

Every year, thousands of people leave hospital feeling vulnerable and unsure about coping at home. For many older people, a lack of practical support and essential everyday items can make recovery more difficult and increase the risk of isolation.

That's why we're proud to be working with the Juliet O Foundation, founded by former NHS professional Juliet Omoregie, who dedicated more than 30 years to helping patients and now continues that commitment through her charity work. Together, we're supporting the distribution of 1,000 care packages to older patients being discharged from hospitals across London, including St George's Hospital, Croydon University Hospital, and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital. By providing immediate, practical support when it's needed most, the initiative aims to help people recover safely and confidently at home.

One patient commented “I’ve been a patient in the St Helier hospital, and I live on my own etc... and when I left St Helier, I was given by Juliet this wonderful blue bag full of very valuable things when you go home. Notepad, tea to make a cup of tea and all these such useful things! And I wanted to thank her most sincerely for this lovely bag of goodies! Please thank Juliet, I’m so pleased”.
