The Mortimer Society Sustainability Review Update

Due to the negative effects of global climate change and an increasing awareness of inequality amongst this generation of consumers, sustainability has become the most important issue facing humanity today.

As governments around the world sign up for challenging environmental commitments, so transparency in reporting continues to increase in importance.  While, currently, most sustainability reporting is voluntary for most organisations, in the future, inevitably, it will become a legal requirement.

Over the past 30 years, the number of companies that report on Environmental and Social sustainability has increased steadily.  Charities are no different in wanting to ensure that they follow good guidance and practice and so the Board of Trustees of The Mortimer Society have decided to carry out a full and comprehensive review of all their operations.  Our aim is to ensure that wherever possible, Environmental and Social Governance principles have been considered and applied.  This will place environmental sustainability at the forefront of our future plans for both homes.

In due course we shall publish our review along with an Action Plan to detail any changes being made.  This will be updated regularly to ensure that as new options occur, we can implement better outcomes for both the homes and the environment.

Mortimer Society comments on the Health and Social Care Committee Expert Panel's Report on Social Care

On the 25th July 2022, the Expert Panel of the House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee published a report on the progress of commitments made by the government to address the many challenges faced by the NHS and Social Care providers, like the Mortimer Society, have in recruiting and retaining their workforce.  The Mortimer Society have submitted evidence to this Panel. 

The Expert panel (which is impartial) was led by Professor Dame Jane Dacre DBE and acknowledged that the current situation in planning, recruitment and retention of the workforce had made inadequate progress as responses to the panel confirmed.
