- Delivering blankets and warm clothing to their door
- Support those who are in difficult circumstances to small financial grants
- Help people access healthcare and connect them to organisations that could reduce their bills
- Inviting people to 15 free Social Clubs a month, and signposting to other local activities
- Introducing those who struggle to get out and about to Love Your Neighbour

• Love Your Neighbour - The simplest way to refer an older neighbour to Love Your Neighbour, a one-to-one friendship programme.
