Every so often we provide a case study about the people our life connectors help day in, day out. One person became a Better Together client following a meeting at the Job Centre. Following health problems she could not continue with her studies. This impacted her self-esteem and confidence. As a result, she lost regular contact with her fellow students.
After a second meeting, she was introduced to the Art Group that Better Together set up for clients. There, she made friends and soon became a regular attendee.
At a later meeting, the client described how she was nervous going to the group for the first time but was so pleased she had.
She said it had given her the confidence to socialise again and consequently had gone to a student reunion she would previously avoided. She was now ‘doing more things’ and said how she was now ‘so much happier’. We wish her all the best for the future! Thank you for sharing your story and providing us with this case study.
Our life connectors support people overcoming loneliness and social isolation. Our staff are well placed to help our clients. We also take on additional referrals from people who find themselves unexpectedly isolated.
Our Freephone Better Together Helpline is open from Monday – Friday 9am-5pm. So, if you would like information, advice, support or just a friendly chat, please call them on 0300 303 3920.
