Fusion have successfully secured three years of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund
The Park Wood Connects Project is a three year engagement and support initiative co-designed with the local community to support people struggling with the combined effects of the cost-of-living crisis, the mental health crisis, and high levels of social isolation/loneliness in one of the South East’s most deprived communities.
To address the growing numbers of vulnerable local residents we propose to do two things through the Park Wood Connects project:
- Reach out better across the community to make more people aware that we and our partners are here to help
- Make more services available locally by encouraging more people and organisations begin delivering support locally
As part of this funding we will have both job and volunteer opportunities available as well as new exciting projects.
