Community Connecting

A Community Connector walking through a forest

Looking to make a positive change in your life? Our Community Connectors are here to support you!

Think of them as your friendly guides, here to help you explore new opportunities and make a real difference in your life. Whether you call them Social Prescribers, Link Workers, or simply “Jack of All Trades,” they’re here to help you shape the life you want.

It all starts with a simple chat. Your Connector will walk alongside you, helping you find your strengths and map out a plan to reach your goals. Need help with something? Whatever's important to you (as long as it's legal!), we’re here to support it.

You and your Connector set the pace. Face-to-face, on your schedule, and at a location that works for you.

Ready to connect? Just ask your GP about social prescribing, and you’ll be on your way. Our Connectors work with GP surgeries, hospitals, and even the Wiltshire Domestic Violence Project to make sure you get the support you need.

We met a Community Connector last December and didn’t really expect much. She encouraged us to start going to a group and now we look forward to going because we’ve met some lovely people. In fact, two other people from the group and I are about to start an exercise class together. A holiday felt like a distant dream but with our newfound confidence and the ‘go for it’ attitude from our Connector we found ourselves sitting in the sun in Devon. I can honestly say my outlook on life has completely changed after these last 7 months.

I was in a bad relationship and so to protect myself and my children we had to leave. As we had to go quickly, I couldn’t take anything. I felt so alone, overwhelmed and like the world was against me.
I met a Community Connector who helped me to sort a grant to get bits for our home, a washing machine and some other furniture. I’ve applied for benefits and even gone to a local mum’s group. I am now feeling more confident and hopeful for the future for my family but also for myself.

I started working with a Community Connector because I noticed I was feeling down and had started to keep to myself and not go out much.
At the start of working with the connector I would only meet them in the safety of my home, we built on this and met for walks going further and further each time. When we walked, we talked about what I wanted for the future and my plans. I got a part time job and started going out with friends, that was when I knew I didn’t need a connector anymore.
