Social Connections & Families

Projects that strengthen community ties and reduce isolation, as well as supporting families and voluntary carers.

Example: A town council establishes free weekly activity and chat sessions for older residents. This offers isolated individuals some company with refreshments and has the added benefit of giving carers a few hours’ break. In order to help with the cost of the initial set up, publicity and bringing in expert help, they apply for a grant from the Community Health & Wellbeing fund. The group will continue to be funded by the town council and other local fundraising efforts.

This Community Health & Wellbeing programme is about us helping you to support your communities to live happier healthier lives
