The Coastal Community Hub is part of a wider Coastal Community network of support services designed to help local people access practical help, connection, and wellbeing support in a friendly and welcoming way.

It began as a collaborative response during the COVID-19 pandemic, when local organisations came together to support people through a time of uncertainty. Since then, it has grown into a trusted and vital part of community life, now sitting at the heart of how we support people across our coastal communities.

​

Today, the Hub is much more than a practical support service. It plays an important role in helping to reduce isolation, build connections, and support wellbeing.

​

For many older and housebound residents, the Hub offers not only practical help, but also regular human contact through friendly phone calls, wellbeing check-ins, and doorstep visits from volunteers. These simple but meaningful connections help people feel more supported, connected, and part of their community.

​

Our volunteers also help us to gently notice changes in wellbeing or circumstances, allowing us to connect people with the right support when needed.

​
