Community Connections Support Service for Isolated Older Adults

Community Connections is a support service designed for people aged 60 and over living in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole who experience isolation or loneliness. The service focuses on preventative measures to reduce social isolation and its negative health impacts. This is an opportunity for service providers to deliver community-based support activities and engagement programs that help vulnerable older adults build social connections, participate in community activities, and access peer support networks. The service aims to improve wellbeing, reduce depression and anxiety, and help older people maintain independence through regular contact and social participation.
