Social and leisure
We know that life is not easy when you are stuck at home all day, particularly if you need a little extra support. Getting out, taking part in leisure activities and socialising with friends can make all the difference.

Contact Adult Social Care
There are many ways to contact the adult social care team, both online and over the phone.
We encourage people who can contact us online to do so, as it helps to free up phone lines for emergencies or for those who don't have access to or the skills to use computers.
You may also be able to find what you need on AskSARA, our online self-help tool that provides expert advice and information on products and equipment for people of all ages, who want to stay independent in and outside of their home.
