Sustainable Communities
Lampeter Residents’ Survey
Rural Health and Care Wales (https://ruralhealthandcare.wales) is currently delivering a project called ‘Sustainable Communities’ in Lampeter that is looking to address loneliness and isolation, whilst also supporting local people to remain independent and live in their own homes as long as possible.
We are currently running weekly social mornings in Brondeifi, Lampeter every Wednesday between 10am and 12:30pm that are free to attend – please feel free to call in and invite your friends and family too!
We are now undertaking a survey of local residents to try to find out what their needs are and how we can support them. As such, we would be grateful if you could spend 5 minutes of your time completing this questionnaire (closing date 13th September).
The next step for the project will be to set up a group of volunteers to support individuals in need. Some tasks that the volunteers could get involved with could include helping with shopping, giving lifts to appointments, assisting with light household chores, collecting prescriptions, dog walking, or even just having a friendly chat over tea.
Mari Lewis is the appointed Sustainable Communities Co-ordinator for Lampeter and if you have any questions or wish to speak to Mari, please contact her on 07386 684069 or email mari.lewis2@wales.nhs.uk
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the survey – we are looking forward to collaborating with and supporting your community.
