The service is designed to empower residents to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing by supporting them to engage in community activities and build social networks. It aims to alleviate loneliness and isolation by supporting, signposting and connecting individuals with community groups in their local area, as well as providing a range of advice and support to help people access volunteering opportunities.
