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

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

    estimate
