We are one of three partner organisations delivering Chain Reaction, which is commissioned by Newcastle City Council and supports older people to live independently in the community.
Who is the service for?
Chain Reaction offers group support to people aged 55+ to reduce social isolation, connect to their local community, and make new friendships.
What we do and how we help
We’re here to ensure that older people can get the support they need.
This includes feeling safe and well, being treated with dignity and respect, being in control of making decisions, and being able to stay in touch with family, friends, and the community.
Our team supports people to meet their needs through creative, person-centred group support.
Connecting people to others and creating a network of natural support
We want to help to prevent people feeling lonely by:
- Having some support to come to groups and meeting new people.
- Making new friends, or reconnecting with family or old friends who are important to the individual.
- Connecting with people who have shared interests.
- Signposting and referring to other internal and external support.
