Community Support Workers
Our friendly and pro-active Community Support Workers are provided by Sheffield City Council and are based in GP surgeries. They can give you support and advice on almost anything non-medical, as long as you are not already receiving social care.
Community Support Workers can help with:
- finding out about and supporting you to join local social activities
- sourcing help in and around the home
- temporary help if someone is unwell
- finding support for carers
- planning for times of bad weather
- advice on transport options
- information on housing, health and social care
- encouragement to live an active life
- support to check benefit entitlements
Referrals
From 10th January 2022, this service will be accessible through the Health and Wellbeing Hub. Please speak to a member of staff at your GP surgery and ask for a referral to The Health and Wellbeing Hub.
You can refer yourself or you can refer someone you know, but you must have their permission. If you are referring someone else, please also give your own contact details. GPs and other professionals can also make referrals.
