"Top Boy star and rapper Dave spoke with pride after his mother's meaningful mission to help elderly patients was expanded across hospitals in south London. The scheme has now been launched at Epsom Hospital in Surrey where scores more vulnerable people will be aided. Brit Award winner Dave, 27, real name David Omoregie, was born in Brixton and plays terrifying gangster Modie in the gritty Netflix crime drama."
"In my last job, I noticed most of my elderly patients were really stressed when they were going home because they didn't have the basic essentials they needed. She added: My son is very proud of me for doing this. I've self-funded the programme so far, with his help. We're now building partnerships with UK businesses, as well as local businesses and shops, and warmly welcome any businesses or individuals who would like to support us."
"Molly Simpson, head of charity and fundraising at Epsom and St Helier Hospitals Charity, added: Dave proves that caring for others can come from every corner of our community and he's helping to make a huge difference for some of our most vulnerable patients. Leaving hospital can be a scary time for many these packs are supporting patients by giving them back their independence and reducing anxieties about returning home."
Juliet Omoregie expanded the Juliet O Foundation to provide essential home packs at Epsom Hospital to support vulnerable older patients returning home. The packs aim to reduce some of the 219,155 annual hospital readmissions in England among people over 65 caused by falls, infections and other complications. Juliet Omoregie launched the charity two years after retiring from a 35-year NHS career and has self-funded the programme with assistance from her son, David Omoregie (Dave). Partnerships with UK and local businesses are being developed to scale the programme and restore patient independence.
