Bridge Brighter Lives (360G-CheshireCF-A565351)
Bridge Community Wellness Gardens address wellbeing and health issues in the local community, including mental health, isolation , loneliness. They will deliver weekly interactive sessions for the local over 50 population who are signposted to them because they have been isolated and lonely during covid-19 and need to transition into the community. A grant will fund sessional workers, venue and volunteer costs as well as to provide a light lunch and drink from the Better Lives Café. There are many over 50's in the area that are in a deprived area and as such have not had life opportunities that have prepared them for middle and older age - the project can provide them with a social network that will reduce social isolation and levels of loneliness and improve their mental health and wellbeing.
