local community organisations. By providing trusted

from different backgrounds to come together, share
information, support one another and participate
positively in community life.
Our work has also strengthened our partnerships and
volunteer network. We have worked with community
organisations, youth groups, specialist speakers and
other partners to increase the range of support and
opportunities available to local residents.
Overall, our activities have helped people feel less
isolated, more connected, better informed and more
confident in seeking support and participating in
community life. Feedback from participants has
helped us understand their needs and will continue to
shape the development of our future charitable
activities.|
