Connect : for people experiencing social isolation.
Verified service

Connect is for people who want to feel more connected to the people and places around them

Connect will work  alongside you at your own pace, to help you:

◦ overcome barriers to connection - what’s getting in your way?
◦ draw on support available in your neighbourhood
◦ discover new opportunities
◦ pursue what matters most to you
◦ find a sense of belonging & community

We want to make Barking and Dagenham an easier place to get to know 
people, where everyone feels connected to the dynamic community of 
the borough, and nourished by those around them
