Community Coordinators help you to identify your strengths, by building valued and trusting relationships. They will:
support people to stay stronger - by identifying their vision for a good life and their plans how to get there
build local partnerships - explore what peer and neighbourhood support and community networking groups there are, and connect individuals to them
focus on building relationships - focus our work in the places that need it the most, and encourage people to do more for themselves.
build a supportive community - establish what local resources are already in existence, including groups and volunteers, and look at ways we can support them and connect them with local people
promote local opportunities - establish where there are gaps in the community and look for opportunities to facilitate new activities.
There is no charge for our service, however there may be a charge to a for a service or activity that you decide to take part in.
There is no eligibility criteria and no appointment or assessment is needed, you just need to fill out this introduction form which takes around 10 minutes. If you are introducing someone else, you must have the individual's information as well as a reason for introduction.
