The launch of Community Connect; a new welfare and wellbeing service for rural Northamptonshire communities
SNVB is delighted to announce a new 4 year project funded by the National Lottery which will focus on welfare and wellbeing in our rural communities.
SNVB will be supporting people by acting as a ‘Solutions Hub’ for the following:
- Energy advice or energy saving tips
- Access to affordable food or food support, whether that is either referrals to Food banks or signposting to Community Food Larders
- Help in making a return to work, whether through upskilling, free online training, or finding relevant volunteering opportunities to build confidence and CV content
- Opportunities to discuss caring roles and dispensations available to carers such as Powers of Attorney, Deputyship, Carer’s Allowance, and the Blue Badge scheme
- Wellbeing and self-care advice
- Full benefits checks and support for Universal Credit, Council Tax advice, and other Government provisions.
Dates and locations will be communicated as and when they are received.
