There is considerable evidence to suggest that loneliness and isolation can have a significant impact on physical and mental health
The project will;
- Work in partnership with community groups, community hubs and other third sector services to develop initiatives that address loneliness in isolation in priority communities
- Develop new initiatives in priority communities co-productively with citizens
- Connect commissioned befriending services and their clients to other initiatives across Cwm Taf that address loneliness and isolation (i.e. grant funded and other non-commissioned third sector community based services)
- Support community group members to develop skills and knowledge to enhance the groups sustainability
- Support community groups / third sector organisations to make proposals that tackle loneliness and isolation and assist in the implementation of projects
The project will work across both Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taf.
