If you or a loved one is in need of support, our volunteers are here to help those living in South Brent and the surrounding communities of Avonwick, North Huish, Diptford and Rattery.
We offer befriending, carers support and other services including our popular groups and Drop-in.
We also offer bespoke support for those finding it hard to get out and about like transport, assistance with shopping, help to navigate or understand the care system, and help with benefit forms and personal admin.
