The Community Gateway is a helpline available for everyone and provides access to a wide range of professional voluntary sector support and services. A unique partnership of more than 50 voluntary organisations is working with NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board to offer ongoing support to communities across the Duchy.
The Gateway is open 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, 365 days a year – including Christmas day.
People can access the Gateway via a dedicated telephone line: 01872 266383, and email address: welcome@kernowgateway.org.uk 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.
As well as offering a lifeline for members of the community, the Gateway will also offer access to voluntary sector support for people arranging support on behalf of others such as GPs, other healthcare professionals and community groups.
