Supportive Communities - Update and Delivery Plan 2021/22

18/02/2021 - Supportive Communities - Update and Delivery Plan 2021/22

“This council is committed to working with communities and the voluntary sector to deliver local, financially sustainable services that are valued by those who need them.

This approach showed its value during 2020 when those in need received a wide range of help and support, including food deliveries, collection of medical prescriptions and a friendly voice at the end of the phone.

Our intention now is to further improve the digital-based support available and, with the help of communities, the voluntary sector and parish councils, use different approaches to ensure those who are ‘digitally excluded’ are not left behind”.

Johnny McMahon, Cabinet Member for Health, Care and Wellbeing
