Community Connectors

Community Connectors is a free service for adults 16+ who are experiencing social issues that are impacting on their mental, emotional or physical health and wellbeing.

A Community Navigator will work with you to create a personalised wellbeing plan to help you improve your health and wellbeing, which means that you only need to see one person to connect to specialist agencies and community activities.

We can help you find practical solutions to everyday issues including:

• Health/wellbeing

• Education/training
• Leisure activities
• Finance/debt
• Housing
• Employment
• Volunteering

We accept referrals from GPs/nurses/surgery staff, in addition to community and health professionals
