The Community Gateway is now live. Open 7 days a week, from 8am until 8pm, it offers a simple point of access into community support. It can connect to the Warm Banks network, community hubs, offer support on hospital discharge, help people navigate to the right place at the right time, and is a safe space for conversation. Although hosted by Age UK Cornwall, the Gateway offers the skills and experience of an inclusive range of charities and VCSE organisations.

Please cascade the number and email far and wide. It can support individual referrals and cohorts of people who might benefit from our collective services. It is open to all. It connects to local volunteer networks and is working in partnership with ICA’s, local coordination points, and the Virtual Care team to wrap services around the individual and ensure appropriate escalation.
