This week is #LonelinessAwarenessWeek, designed to raise awareness of loneliness by inspiring conversation and communication.
We support dozens of groups whose work tackles loneliness, either directly or indirectly, to reduce stigma and build compassionate, connected communities.

This week is the 42nd #VolunteersWeek when we celebrate the massive contribution volunteers make to our communities. Almost every group we fund relies on their volunteers to deliver their life-changing projects and, without them, Dorset would be far poorer.
Thank you to you all.

We love this. Bridport Youth and Community Centre is using a £4,922 grant from our Neighbourhood Fund to run the The-Not-So-Youth Club, a daytime actvity session for over 50s to combat loneliness and isolation and boost confidence and wellbeing.
That's local giving in action. 💪

Thank you to @Tesco #Kinson for choosing #Bournemouth as their Book Shelf charity of the month. The amazing sum of £310 was raised! The branch relies on donations to keep the branch lights on. It makes all the difference 💚

A busy few days at #Bournemouth Volunteers were at @bournemouthuni and @BCPCouncil Out Of Hours Team. The branch also welcomed Robert and his daughter to talk about his experiences as a prison listener. Many thanks to them both for sharing so openly #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💚

When Joy and Lance Collier's family wanted to honour their wishes to support #Dorset charities after their deaths, they came to us. Ten years on, their fund has awarded thousands of pounds to local causes. See how we can do the same for you: ⬇️

❄️Temperatures are set to plummet this weekend and for the following days. Will you be turning your heating up? Thousands of older and disabled people living in fuel poverty don't have that luxury. Help them by supporting our Surviving Winter appeal. ⬇️
