Cornwall’s charities and community groups have combined forces to support people through a challenging winter.
In response to increasing living costs and pressures across the health and care system in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, a unique partnership of more than 50 voluntary organisations has been working with NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board to offer ongoing support to communities across the Duchy.
The Community Gateway is a dedicated telephone line available for everyone and provides access to a wide range of professional voluntary sector support and services.
It will provide a ‘gateway to independence’, working with people to identify their needs and put appropriate packages of support in place.

To speak to trained staff and find local support that’s right for them. In addition, staff members in the community will be available to offer one-to-one and group support.
The Gateway is open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
