New Website for easier access to support and advice

We are excited to announce the launch of our newly designed website, offering a clearer, more accessible way for people and professionals to find the support they need for their health and wellbeing.

As a trusted partner across Dorset and beyond, Help & Care has supported people to take control of their wellbeing for 40 years. While our approach has evolved over time, our current focus is rooted in self-management, lived experience, and collaboration.

Our new website brings this vision to life by making it easier to explore a wide range of services and initiatives – including Health & Wellbeing Coaching, Social Prescribing, Memory Support, Mental Health services, the HOPE Programme, opportunities to get involved in shaping health and care through Involving People, and our work with Healthwatch Dorset.

For Individuals & Communities:

  • Explore our full range of services and community programmes
  • Get practical tools, advice, and self-help resources
  • Find local support near you – tailored to your needs
  • Learn how to get involved and make your voice heard

For Professionals & Partners:  

  • To discover how lived experience is shaping the future of health and care
  • Connect with local neighbourhood teams and community networks
  • Access insights into co-production, system change, and innovation

“We wanted a website that truly reflects who we are and the people we serve,” said Mark Sharman, Chief Executive at Help & Care. “As we mark 40 years strong, this launch is a step forward in making our support more accessible and putting wellbeing into people’s hands.”

Visitors can also find real stories, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved – whether as individuals, carers, or community partners.
