One stop shop for community information

Delivered in partnership with Simply Connect, the updated directory places a strong focus on health and wellbeing, helping people quickly discover nearby groups, services and opportunities to get involved in their community. 

From social activities to specialist support, the platform aims to make it simpler for residents to access the help they need — whenever they need it.

This launch marks the start of a wider effort to improve how information about local services is shared with the public, ensuring that support is visible, accessible and up to date.

Whether you are looking to:

• meet new people and build social connections
• get advice or support for yourself, a friend or family member
• join exercise classes or social clubs
• volunteer or get involved in a local charity - the directory brings everything together in one place.

Community services listed also offer specialist help across a wide range of issues including:

• adult social care support
• learning how to use technology
• domestic abuse services
• financial guidance
• housing advice
• bereavement support.

The goal is simple: to help residents improve their health and wellbeing by connecting them with the services that matter most to them.

Local groups, charities and service providers are encouraged to check whether their organisation is already listed. If not, they can register directly on the platform and keep their information up to date, ensuring residents can easily find and access their support.
