Who we are
Woolton Community Life Befriending Service
Woolton Community Life came about as Dr George Kuruvilla, a local GP, realised that our communities are becoming more fragmented. In Woolton we have a high proportion of retired people, with many people living alone and often immediate family have left the area to find work.
Under direction from Dr Kuruvilla the churches, community organisations, medical professionals, and local residents started Woolton Community Life to see how we can bring people together.
Our Aims
- To reduce loneliness for the benefit of those individuals in the local community that frequently have limited opportunities for wider friendships or networks beyond family.
- To make improvements to the lives of individuals, many of whom are socially isolated and lonely.
- To increase opportunities for members of the Woolton community to work together and promote community cohesion.
- To promote equality and diversity in the community by removing known barriers which increase exclusion.
