05 Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is pivotal
to our strategy here at Elis, and one of the major
strands of this involves supporting the communities
in which we operate. Here are some of the latest
initiatives we’ve undertaken as part of this work:
BRINGING
SOME CHEER
TO CHILDREN IN
HOSPITAL CARE
We’ve been working alongside hospital wards and
registered Health Play specialists throughout the NHS
in England to distribute activity packs to support
children’s ward patients. Our teams have been busy
distributing these over the last few months, and they
have been extremely well received.
Susan Pruden, Play Service Manager and
Registered Health Play Specialist, says: “The
patient experience is paramount while children are
in hospital, either overnight or as a day case. The
THE THREAD
packs were used and enjoyed, and the children
were really engaged.” We have also donated
a further 5,000 packs to Evelina’s Childrens Hospital
due to popular demand
Thank you also to our team at Elis Coventry for their
generosity and kindness, as colleagues from textile,
service, production and on-site associates joined
forces with ISS healthcare employees to distribute
Easter eggs to children on hospital wards and in
the emergency department.
