Our programmes
Practical ways to bring people together
Ask about current activities, who can take part and how to get involved.
Community meals
A place to share food and conversation. Contact us for current sessions and ways to help with preparation.
Practical support
Connecting offers of everyday essentials with current local needs. Check what is useful before bringing items.
Shared skills
Opportunities to learn from neighbours and share useful skills. Ask about upcoming activities or suggest an idea.
How we work
Listen first. Work alongside one another.
Start with local priorities
Listen to the people involved and shape activities around the needs they describe.
Make involvement practical
Explain what is needed, how to join in and who to contact before someone commits their time.
Keep the conversation open
Welcome questions, feedback and ideas about the work and how support is used.
Ways to support
Find the way to help that fits you
A conversation is a useful first step. We will confirm current needs and the appropriate next step with you.
Give your time
Tell us what you enjoy doing, your availability and any access needs. We will discuss suitable opportunities.
Offer practical support
Ask which items or skills are currently useful before arranging a contribution or collection.
Ask about giving
Get in touch for current ways to contribute and information about how support is used.
Questions are welcome
Understand the work before you decide to help.
Ask about current programmes, the people coordinating them and how contributions are used.
We can share relevant information before you decide to volunteer, offer items or make a financial contribution. Contact us for current giving details rather than sending funds or items without checking first.
Let us know how you would like to get involved
Ask about taking part, volunteering or supporting a programme. We will reply with current information and the right person to speak to.
