We can provide a comprehensive package of holistic and practical support in a person’s home, out in the community or remotely by phone to help reduce calls and attendances.
One of our experienced and friendly link workers will help create a support plan designed to suit the individual to help reach their goals, whether they are experiencing feelings of social isolation, mental ill-health, addiction or other life challenges.
We aim to provide a multi-agency approach to support and will ‘link’ into the appropriate services where necessary.
We can support if:
- The person is a frequent user of emergency or other health services.

- The referrer has an NHS or Local Authority email address
