This grant will part fund the employment of a Project Worker for one full day a week. They will support 70 beneficiaries aged between 55 to 90 who have either served or are dependents of someone who has served in the Naval Service or the Auxiliaries.
An example of this would be Florence Miller who was born in 1922 and served as a WREN during WW2. Florence was feeling isolated and we helped her find services to fit her needs and she now regularly attends our lunch clubs.
The Project Worker will provide support to 70 people with identified complex needs, such as, mental health issue, suffering isolation and dementia, and ensure they get the services, advice and friendship they need to improve their current living situation.
