Third Sector & Self Help Services for patients
Third Sector Services
Sometimes patients need social support rather than medical support but don't know where to go to get this help. Due to the ongoing increase in demand to see a GP it is critical that we do everything we can to help our patients to be able to access services directly without having to wait to see a GP first.

Community Wellness
They believe that every person regardless of their circumstances has the right to be well, not just physically, emotionally and psychologically but also socially, environmentally, intellectually, financially and occupationally.
They seek to empower people to become independent in their own community.
By providing the professional help that people need to deal with loneliness, isolation, mental illness and addictions, they enable the most marginalised and vulnerable members of our society to be seen, heard, and live more meaningful lives. Click the link for more information
