About this cause

Bassetlaw Action Centre is a community resource agency offering help and support to individuals and organisations throughout Bassetlaw; promoting the independence of older and vulnerable people and supporting individuals with long term conditions.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our initial referrals for befriending come from the Bassetlaw Social Prescribing service. They offer a support program for a period of 12 weeks to the most isolated and vulnerable older people across the area. We at Bassetlaw Action Centre are then able to offer a longer term service for those whose Social Prescribing has come to an end but who wish to continue to have a befriender visit them.
