Community Engagement
Getting involved with and giving back to your community can be a really useful way to combat loneliness and isolation.
There are several housing drop-ins across our community. You can attend and get support from Teign Housing staff, as well as linking up with other local services. Visit the drop-in session page to find out when or where they are held.
There are also some fantastic organisations across Teignbridge and Devon that aim to address loneliness, food poverty and increasing employment opportunities:
