Toc H Supporting older people and families in Eveswell, Newport
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

We will co-deliver a range of weekly support groups for older people and families attending our Toc H Community Hub in Eveswell, Newport. These groups will: Offer cost of living support Support families to offer their children a strong start in life Offer new friendships, reduced social isolation and emotional wellbeing Improve physical fitness and cardiovascular health Create memories for those who would usually struggle to afford days out

Beneficiaries

  • Children / Young People

    Parents have spoken to us about how their lives are becoming increasingly more difficult due to the spiralling cost-of-living crisis. Many children are living in deprived households. Our groups will support these families.

  • Elderly / Old People

    The closest activities for older people in the area are beyond walking distance or difficult to access using public transport, leaving many vulnerable older people isolated with no support network and few friendships.

  • Number of beneficiaries - 80
