This week is #LonelinessAwarenessWeek, designed to raise awareness of loneliness by inspiring conversation and communication.
We support dozens of groups whose work tackles loneliness, either directly or indirectly, to reduce stigma and build compassionate, connected communities.

This week is the 42nd #VolunteersWeek when we celebrate the massive contribution volunteers make to our communities. Almost every group we fund relies on their volunteers to deliver their life-changing projects and, without them, Dorset would be far poorer.
Thank you to you all.

We love this. Bridport Youth and Community Centre is using a £4,922 grant from our Neighbourhood Fund to run the The-Not-So-Youth Club, a daytime actvity session for over 50s to combat loneliness and isolation and boost confidence and wellbeing.
That's local giving in action. 💪
