About

Living Well Coordinators work with you to find ways to avoid being isolated, to take steps to improve your health and; to discover opportunities to develop more interests.

They provide help with practical and emotional issues.

This is a free, time limited service for those people who are eligible. 

 Who can they help?

• People who are bereaved or have lost a support network;
• People who have had a recent loss of confidence
• People who are lonely or social isolated.
• People who need help with finding information, advice and guidance.

They cannot help people who have had a social care assessment and have ongoing care and support needs.  

They help adults who need a little extra help to overcome some of life’s challenges and changes; people who have a caring role, who are frail or physically disabled, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health problems or sensory impairments.
