We are a project, funded to pilot a new way of improving the health and well-being of Wolverhampton people. We work along with GPs and other health staff to assist patients to find activities and support in the local community that help to improve health and wellbeing.
We have three link workers working across different parts of the City; they cover South West, South East and North East areas of the city.
They spend time to find out what’s important to you and then link you with organisations that can help.
These could include:
Making new friends
Learning a new skill
Help to cope with long-term conditions
Finding advice on housing, benefits or finances
Exploring volunteering or employment options
Linking with counselling or befriending services
Discovering new hobbies
Trying out activities that make you feel healthier
Wolverhampton Voluntary Sector Sector Council is the operational base for the project. The service will be delivered at local venues across Wolverhampton.
