MHA Communities East Nottinghamshire

(Formerly known as Southwell & District Live at Home Scheme and Newark Live at Home Scheme)

We are a charity providing befriending and social activities for older people living in their own home, who may be feeling lonely and socially isolated. Our staff and team of volunteers organise and coordinate a variety of social activities including Coffee Mornings, Outings, Age and Dementia friendly chair based exercise, Lunches and Sport Sessions such as Boccia. Transport is often also organised and provided. Our volunteer befrienders,  phone or visit members in their own home. 

"There is no commitment involved when you become a member - you can pick and choose what social activities are of interest to you. Many people enjoy knowing that they are part of a trusted local group which understands their specific health, mobility needs and who are only a phone call away. We provide opportunities for people to reconnect with others, discover new interests and feel stimulated and socially alive once again. Members tell us that they find themselves lonely and isolated due to many reasons including changes to health/mobility, busy families, bereavement and many more - We are strong believers in helping people discover opportunities to adapt to those changes in order to live later life well" 

Covid has affected the range of activities on offer. Community contact, wellbeing support and befriending continues and activities will resume as and when restrictions lift and based on local safety assessments and member demand. 

Currently In-person activities will take place within Southwell & District as well as Newark ... people from other areas welcome to become members.

MHA Digital Communities also has a growing range of online activities.
