Simply Connect North Somerset is a community directory of services, aimed predominantly at people over the age of 18, delivered in partnership with North Somerset Council and Voluntary Action North Somerset

We’re on a mission to help you find local community services, activities and support that can really help you with whatever issue you’re struggling with at the moment.

Are you looking to meet new people?  

Get some advice or support for a friend or family member? 

Or you might be wanting to find out about exercise or social clubs, or how to get involved in a local charity?

Community services can provide specialist support too on a range of topics, such as adult social services, how to use technology, domestic abuse, helping to manage your finances, housing issues or bereavement support.


We're here to help you improve your health and wellbeing by

• Helping you find support on 'what matters most to you'

• Connecting you to local community services and activities

Whatever it is you’re looking for, there’s something for you.

What is social prescribing?

This is when you are referred or signposted into non-clinical services by a professional as a way of supporting or improving your health and wellbeing.

Social Prescribing Link Workers are new posts, funded by the NHS, who will support you and make referrals on your behalf into community services.

Do you want to get involved in your community and help others?

There are hundreds of local community organisations registered that you can help by volunteering.

Maybe you want to work with animals, help the homeless, or get involved in a fundraising event - whatever it is, there is someone out there who needs your help.
