OUR SUPPORT

Brompton Fountain Support In The Community

Our ethos is to make sure every heart and lung family under our care is supported, no matter where they are. We understand your journey does not stop simply because you have left hospital, but rather a new chapter has just begun. To support this, we emphasise the importance of connection; whether it is about staying connected to our charity, supporting you to stay connected with your family, or even connecting you to people with shared experiences who understand your journey.

 

Community support can take many forms, such as fun events to enjoy time with your family whilst making new connections, accessing our online forums, attending our local support sessions, interacting with our educational support, taking up our offers of practical medical support, and seeing our team in your outpatient clinics. Read ahead to find out about all of these areas of community support!

In-Person Events

We throw fun and exciting in-person events for all our families, creating safe environments for you to have a special day out and meet some other families with shared experiences! Whether it’s exploring London Zoo, stomping through Jurassic Park, or conversing over an afternoon tea, we have something for everyone. Read more about these events here.

Virtual Socials

We understand that it is not always possible to attend our events, so that is why we offer alternative accessible socials online. Whether it be brushwork on a beautiful bird feeder or creating calming candles, every activity is hosted with thought and care. Read more about our virtual socials here.

Online Community

Those who are under our care are spread wildly across the nation, and therefore it is important for us to utilise different online forums to make sure we all feel connected. Read more about how you can join our online community here.

Support Sessions

Whilst events and socials are essential to uplift our community, it is vital for members of our community to have access to emotional support. Whether it be a virtual session, a focus group led by medical staff, or a coffee morning held in your local area, we encourage parent/carers and older patients to attend these support sessions to not only get emotional support, but to also impact ours and NHS practices. Read more about the type of support sessions we hold here.

Medical Equipment and Resources

Our ability to fund much-needed and life-saving medical equipment and resources for our patients is something we take pride in.

Our Medical Equipment Loan Programme allows our families to feel supported and safe outside of hospital, providing items like AED’s and INRs. Fine out more about this programme here.

Our partnership with MedicAlert, the UK’s first and only medical ID charity, offers patients fully funded medical ID jewellery alongside a 2-year membership. Read more about this offer here.

Educational Support

We understand the importance of providing education and information to our families, to help them with understand this new world of heart and lung conditions. Whether this be through distributing our own literature, hosting webinars, giving families access to virtual and in-person training, or even simply signposting to other specialist organisations, we aim for all our families to have access to essential knowledge.

Local Support

A new initiative is our Community Champions programme, a dedicated team of volunteers primarily made up of parent/carers of our young patients. Whilst our office resides in London, our community is nationwide, and it is important to bring our events and support groups to everyone’s local areas. Community is such an important part of The Brompton Fountain, and bonds between those with shared experiences should not be jeopardised simply due to distance. To learn more about events near you, or about becoming a Community Champion, read more here.

Youth Support

When growing up with a heart or lung condition, it can be an isolating experience. You may not be able to do the same things as other children, or have to take extended time out of school, or may not even be able to partake in mainstream education. That is why we put such energy into our youth support, to give young people the confidence, support and skills when transitioning into adulthood. We do this through our youth group events and socials, work experience and development, psychological support, and more. Read more about this service here.
