Christmas can be an especially lonely time for some people in our community. With your support our committed team can build a community and a sense of belonging to those who are isolated. Your donation will help to ensure we provide a warm, welcoming place to enjoy laughter, music and conversation.

Situation
Many people in our community experience loneliness and isolation, not least those living with dementia and caring responsibilities. 1/3 of people living with dementia experience loneliness and over 8 in 10 unpaid carers describe themselves as “lonely or socially isolated”. We are on a mission to change this. Our service users rely on our community for a sense of belonging and community and describe our activities, lunches and services as a vital lifeline.
Solution
We are breaking down barriers to connection by creating warm, welcoming spaces where people can come together in their local community. As a charity, our vision is to create a community where no-one feels lonely or isolated. We do this by delivering our wellbeing lunches and Community Living Room activities weekly from our Community Hub, with support from our volunteer led community café.
