Directory re-launched to give answers to Dorset residents
Dorset Council has updated its directory giving information on issues such as health, community resources and carers’ support.
Sometimes we have questions and we don’t know where to go to get answers.
With this in mind, Dorset Council has launched a refreshed online directory providing the latest information from the public, private and the voluntary and community sectors.
The authority has been working with Help and Kindness on the updated directory, which includes information on carers’ support, climate emergency, community resources, emergency and crisis support and health and wellbeing.
The directory contains tabs linking to advice and guidance on financial support and advice, food and eating well, support after leaving hospital and living at home, physical activities and sport and social activities and events.
The directory has improved navigation as well as new content, with information from a range of providers across Dorset.
Jon Sloper, co-founder and chief executive officer of Help and Kindness, said: “We are delighted to be able to launch the new directory of community support in Dorset. This is a huge milestone in our work over many years with Dorset Council. At Help and Kindness, we continuously gather information and insights about community services and activities that support residents in Dorset.
“And in this project, we have been working to present and align this information around Dorset Council’s work so people can find local help wherever they live.”
Cllr Steve Robinson, Cabinet Portfolio lead for Adult Social Care, welcomed the updated directory: “This is an invaluable resource enabling our residents to find the information they need, at the time when they need it, enabling people to stay independent in their own homes.”
