Community Plus
Community Plus is a service working within local communities. We offer tailored one to one, short term support to people that would like to have a more connected, happy, independent and healthier life. Our locally based community co-ordinators work alongside people, to connect them to groups, activities and support in local communities.
There is no charge for the Community Plus service. However, there maybe a cost to any activity or service you decide to take part in.
