• Be-friending sessions online and face to face.
• Substance misuse advice and rehabilitation programmes.
• Social welfare advice, and support.
• A range of engaging physical activity, social, recreational, cultural, and creative programmes.
• Local food banks to tackle food poverty.
• Social prescribing programmes.
• Community-led and peer support programmes.
• Volunteering opportunities.
• Access to other agencies to support complex needs.
