What we offer

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams

At Help & Care, we’re here to listen, connect, and support. Across Dorset, we bring together services that help people live healthier, more independent lives – with the support that’s right for them when they need it most. 

We’re part of a joined-up team of professionals working in every community across Dorset. From social prescribers to wellbeing coaches and care coordinators, we’re here to have meaningful, personalised conversations – getting to the heart of what matters to you. 

We work alongside the NHS, local councils, and voluntary organisations to ensure support is accessible, flexible, and rooted in each neighbourhood. Whether it’s navigating care options, connecting with community resources, or improving wellbeing, you’re not alone. 

Health and Wellbeing Coaching

Life doesn’t always go to plan — and when things feel overwhelming, it helps to have someone in your corner. 

Our Health & Wellbeing Coaches offer personalised support to help you build confidence, learn new skills, and find your own way forward. Together, we focus on what matters to you and how to improve your wellbeing, one step at a time.
