How can we help?

We aim to help people living locally to stay healthy and remain independent. We normally work with people who do not receive services from specialist health care teams or social care services. This means we can:

• check your general state of health and wellbeing
• help you identify what may benefit you to retain your independence
• enable you to make any changes
• let you know what resources may be useful to you provide assistance to access practical and emotional support

For example, we could: 

• advise you about how to keep healthy and manage health issues
• link you with agencies that can maximise your income and help you remain independent through practical tasks such as shopping, cleaning and gardening
• put you in touch with local social groups
  and activities – from history groups or art classes to whist drives, learning courses such as computer skills and sewing clubs help you keep your home safe, secure and warm
• let you know what transport services are available locally.

Working with others

We maintain close links to carers’ services, local day centres, Wellbeing Hubs, the Fire and Rescue Service, Neighbourhood Watch, and many other voluntary and community services.
