Company activities and impact

Although we incorporated in January 2022 we didn’t begin to deliver our service until July 2022. This was to give us time to appropriately set up, market our service and connect with the communities we were intending to serve. We delivered 4 community connect events including activities, coffee mornings and a community walk.We secured a substantial grant from the National Lottery Community Fund and this enabled us to deliver our service free of charge for the first 6 months, establishing firm foundations and a solid reputation.From 1st July 2022 to 31st January 2023, we provided over 1000 hours of support to 36 adults who were struggling with loneliness, isolation, poor mental/physical health and bereavement. Visiting customers in their homes, cheering them up and where appropriate signposting to other relevant services.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company stakeholders are our customers and the services who refer customers to us, such as Citizens Advice, social prescribers, surgeries and health professionals. Whilst there have been no formal consultations we are always open to suggestions and encourage feedback. We have received feedback from both customers and professional contacts, which have all been very positive. In the early months we engaged heavily with health professionals to ensure we were meeting expectations, and of course our customers and their relatives to understand needs better and do what we could to support, within the remit of our function. There was no specific feedback relating to the need for improvement, only encouragement for the work we were doing.
