Royal Voluntary Service - COMMUNITY COMPANIONS
Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) are currently developing a volunteer-led initiative across North Somerset to help reduce isolation and loneliness within older people.
The project's - known as Community Companions - primary focus is to recruit and train small teams of volunteers to provide companion support to the most isolated within their own communities. The more local the focus the better. Royal Voluntary Service provides all the background support, DBS’s, safeguarding, insurance and training services for the volunteers to facilitate such activity to happen safely.
The aim is to attract volunteers to join the project and establish a local support network that can then reach out to help the most isolated.

A splash of colour: A fantastic team effort by some of the residents of Brockley who planted 150 Holland Sensation daffodils at the Crossroads on Saturday the 21st of September. Julian Ridge, the Chair for the Parish Council wished to say "A special thank you to the younger members of the Ciulli and O'Hara families who provided much needed assistance in digging holes in what seemed more like concrete than soil!" It will be exciting to see these bloom in the New Year. A further plant will be taking place in the future at the green at the Chelvey Batch /A370 junction. If you fancy getting involved, please do get in touch.
