Community Support Coffee Mornings

Addressing local issues of social isolation, our regular coffee mornings aim to provide local residents in hard to reach areas of Brentwood with free information, advice and help on a wide range of local services that would benefit them.  Many local and regional organisations (i.e. Essex Sight, Carers First, Brentwood Community Tree etc) are represented at these events, as well as a dedicated IT support desk to help those residents who lack IT skills/confidence, and various demonstrations.

Winter Warmth

Working with local partners we have been able  to provide help for residents whose health and wellbeing is at risk during cold weather. Part of this work is the distribution of winter warmth packs, which contain essential items and information, such as thermal hat/scarf/gloves and a room thermometer to those most in need during the winter months.

Christmas Gift Appeal for Lonely Residents

Our Christmas Gift Appeal, aims to give gifts to older residents in our community who might be without family or friends over the festive period.  We have worked closely with Essex Police and Brentwood Borough Council to help bring a little joy to those who need it most.
