COMMUNITY LIVES MATTER

We deal with the specific needs found in our local community. We run activities for those who are lonely, elderly, or otherwise vulnerable. We provide services for people with dementia and their carers. We work with asylum seekers and refugees to help them adapt to life in the UK and integrate into their new community. And we support the educationally disadvantaged, particularly after Covid-19.
