The award-winning partnership of more than 50 voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations providing community support to people in Cornwall, has received funding for a further five years.

The Community Gateway was launched in November 2022 to support people through a challenging winter, in response to the cost-of-living crisis and increased pressures across the health and care system in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The Gateway works with people to create personalised plans that prevent hospital admissions, reduce social isolation, and improve wellbeing. It also connects people to mental health support, community activities, and a wide range of support through a network of around 50 community hubs that provide a person-centred approach, nutritious food, and warm spaces.

CRCC hosts the Locality lead Role, who will complete holistic assessment of need and connect people to the support resources. We are proud to be part of the partnership and delighted to celebrate that the partnership has received funding for a further five years.
