Who cares in Worcestershire?

The Bromford Support, Floating Network Service is funded by Worcestershire Supporting People and will give vulnerable people in Worcestershire the opportunity to extend their social and leisure networks, while building their confidence to independently enjoy interests and activities within their community. The network service will bring like-minded customers together to share interests and activities and make friends in the wider community. The programme builds on existing resource centres and networks and will bring together a wide range of local amenities, agencies and voluntary organisations in the area. Support workers running the scheme will meet customers in their own homes or other suitable venues to discuss their needs. The support worker will assist the customer to break down the barriers that have prevented the customer from enjoying interests and activities within their community. An agreed plan will then be developed and working together the support worker and the customer will work to achieve the plan. The Worcestershire Floating Network scheme will also offer a wide range of personal development opportunities for customers including being safe on the internet, using social media, chat rooms and forums and independent travel training. The Networking Service is based at Smallwood Almshouses, Redditch and is open 9-5, Monday to Saturday. website address: www.bromford.co.uk Contact Jackie Harris or Lucy Webber
