💬 A Story of Hope and Support – How Community Together CIC Made a Difference

At Community Together CIC, we believe that no one should face their challenges alone. Recently, our Social Prescribing Team worked alongside partners to support a local Army Veteran who was struggling with his mental health and alcohol use after a difficult period in his life.

When he first came to us, he was living in shared accommodation, had no close support network, and was feeling hopeless about the future. Our Senior Social Prescriber, Sue, acted quickly — making urgent referrals to the Mental Health Access Team, SAFA (Armed Forces Support), and Betterway Addiction Support, while also arranging immediate help with food and essential items.

Within days, coordinated support was in place. He received specialist mental health care, addiction support, and practical help to move into safe, independent accommodation. With ongoing encouragement and connection through our Helping Hand Café and community activities, he is now engaging positively with local groups, attending support sessions, and has reduced his alcohol intake significantly.

💛 Today, he’s rebuilding his confidence, managing his wellbeing, and rediscovering community — proving that with the right help at the right time, change is possible.

This story shows what happens when organisations, volunteers, and partners come together with compassion and purpose. Every connection we make helps someone find stability, hope, and belonging.

🌟 It’s International Happiness at Work Week! 🌟

At Community Together CIC, we believe that happiness at work isn’t just a nice idea — it’s essential for wellbeing, teamwork, and success.

Work can bring great purpose and connection, but we all know that life’s challenges don’t stop at the office door. Stress, caring responsibilities, financial pressures, and health worries can all affect how we feel and perform at work.

💚 That’s where Community Together CIC can help.

We’re here to support local people and workplaces by:

✅ Offering practical support and guidance to help reduce stress and anxiety.
✅ Connecting people with community services and wellbeing activities that make life outside work a little easier.
✅ Providing friendly advice and signposting to help manage the everyday challenges that can impact your work life.
✅ Supporting employers and teams to build a positive, resilient, and well-being-focused culture.

We’re proud to be recognised by Investors in People, meeting the standard for both Investing in People and Investing in Wellbeing. We also invest in an Employee Assistance Program for added support. Available for both employees and our 75 strong volunteer team.

This reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting not only our team, but everyone we work with — because when people thrive, workplaces do too. 🌼

Let’s keep working together to make our workplaces happier, healthier, and more connected. 💪
