Description

The Local Links service enables older people over the age of 60, (including those with a mild/moderate mental health issue, including anxiety, depression, dementia) to improve or maintain their quality of life, it is particularly focused on those who are socially isolated and would benefit from the support of attending a local weekly group in their area around Monmouthshire. The service is predominantly focused on the delivery of clubs in people’s local areas, these may be run in community centres and areas with guest speakers and or based in local pubs or restaurants to ensure people are meeting others in their local community. Forging friendships and networks, volunteers then look to run the groups allowing the coordinator to oversee and move onto redeployee elsewhere into the development of new clubs or group. The staff and clubs also offer an informal way of supporting people’s health and wellbeing and offer signposting to other service areas and support.
