The project aims to strengthen personal and community resilience, reduce health inequalities, and improve health outcomes by enabling people to access practical and emotional support through community groups, voluntary sector organisations, and statutory services. The service supports people with long-term conditions, mental health needs, loneliness, social isolation, and complex social circumstances affecting their wellbeing.
