Our community activities address the inequalities arising from the cost-of-living crisis, particularly those exacerbating social and economic disparities. We focus on improving community wellbeing by fostering local connectivity and resilience. Key challenges include tackling social isolation in our rural community, and addressing the underlying factors contributing to mental ill health. Emphasis is placed on prevention to mitigate long-term impacts on individuals and communities.

We will: • build community connectivity by organising activities to strengthen local bonds, fostering a sense of belonging, reducing social isolation and increasing emotional wellbeing. • Provide free activities and refreshments to help alleviate the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis. • Provide a hub for underserved rural areas. • Offer transport solutions for those unable to access services. We aim to address immediate needs while fostering long-term resilience and community cohesion.
