Essential Support Packs
Food and essentials for households facing a hard period, planned and delivered with local volunteers.
Community Information Days
Open days where people can find out about the services, support and opportunities around them.
- Community Support
The challenge
Help often exists but goes unused: people do not know about it, cannot tell whether it is for them, or find it hard to approach. Information days bring it into one welcoming place.
What this work focuses on
- Clear information in everyday language
- A chance to meet local services face to face
- Space to ask questions without pressure
How the work is approached
Each day is shaped by the questions residents raise beforehand.
Times, venues and languages are chosen so that the people most likely to miss out can take part.
What it aims to change
- People who know where to turn
- Services that reach more of the people they are for
- Stronger connections within the community
