Are you, or someone you know, experiencing loneliness or isolation, want to make life better and get out in the community, but not sure how to take the first step?

Would you like information about what is happening in your local community
and how you can get involved?

Would you like to be connected with appropriate informal or formal support
services on your doorstep or across the Island?

Do you have an idea to make the community more connected or want to
start up something new and need help to make that happen?

If you live locally or access the local community for any reason, Adam, your
Community Connector can help.

Support from your Community Connector is free and open to any age; there is no time limit for how long he can work with you, so why not get in touch?

Adam is able to meet people here at West Wight Sports and Community Centre, out in the community or in their home. Get in touch using the details below, there’s no referral form or waiting list to worry about.
