The Robin Trust was founded in 1993 by Leslie McLeod-Downes, who relocated to the UK and currently works for the NHS in Gloucestershire, and is a member of the Health&Hustle. Her daughter, Robyn, required specialised nursing care and Leslie recognised the lack of qualified carers in the Cape Town area. Leslie, following Robyn’s passing started to train carers to provide home-based care services via an agency and is passionate about succeeding in funding carers.
Team Health&Hustle are running a challenge and raising funds for the Robin Trust which is a non-profit organisation, delivering excellent nursing and home-based care. The Trust is a team of dedicated professionals who provide skilled and compassionate health care to patients, that range from individuals requiring home based care to those in the need of medical rehabilitation at their sub-acute facility. The Robin Trust also operates a Home based Care College providing sought-after training to students.
The fees for the full accredited programme is £500 per student. The programme is life changing for an individual, who is economically deprived and without an income. On completion they have recognised training and an entry into the job market as a carer. It further benefits the community as they provide skilled care to people in various settings such as their own home, care homes and hospitals.
