Needs assessment by social services 


Here is how to contact us if you are an adult aged 18+ and need support because of illness or disability, or if you are caring for someone and need help with your caring role.

Our friendly staff will take time and listen to you. They will give you information and advice on what help may be available. These are some examples of how we may be able to offer you support and advice:

  • Options for people who may feel that they are struggling to continue living at home
  • How to get help at home, such as Community Meals or Home Support
  • Information about support for carers
  • Specialist help, for example if you have mental health or memory problems
  • Adaptations or equipment to make it easier for you or your carer 
  • Sensory difficulties – if you are having problems with your eyesight or hearing
  • Find out about social activities or luncheon clubs
