The Community Connectors team offers short-term support to increase independence and confidence for individuals to access groups and social activities. They support people to link in with their local communities, helping to reduce levels of social isolation and loneliness.
To reach as many people as possible, the Community Connectors can call on a team of Community Champion volunteers who work alongside individuals on a short-term basis to help increase their confidence in attending groups/activities while enabling and encouraging them to make their own connections.
