About this cause

Community First in Herefordshire and Worcestershire helps our communities become stronger and more self-sufficient. We do this by providing essential services: the Worcestershire Well-being Hub offers mental health information and signposting for people suffering low-level mental health issues; our Village Hall Network ensures that village halls remain thriving hubs of their communities; we offer free information about funding to local community groups; our Community Health and Well-being initiative works with senior decision-makers in the county, to advise and influence, as well as alongside service providers and commissioners to help meet specific needs 'on the ground'; we run a community oil buying scheme to help people affected by fuel poverty, and we also allocate community grants.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our project will provide essential work and social opportunities for young people in rural areas. It will equip young people with work-related skills such as fundraising, which will also directly benefit their communities. It will help the village halls develop the activities they can provide for all age groups in their communities, and will bring older and younger generations together.
