‘Dealing with ongoing health issues or loss can result in individual’s becoming isolated and disconnected from the outside world. We know that people are happiest and healthiest as active, valued members of their communities, irrespective of their health conditions. Many active groups throughout Moyle are doing excellent work to support Living Well and are providing a range of activities. Volunteers are vital to the success of Living Well, an approach that was first developed in Cornwall. 

Volunteering just a few hours each week can encourage people to reconnect with their community and make a difference to someone going through a difficult time.’ -  Living Well Coordinator.
