Our service helps people in Bridgend County Borough and their families or carers, to access community level services, information and activities that will help them maintain independent lives which help prevent their circumstances deteriorating to a point where they might need higher level health or social care services.
What does our service do? Ultimately an introduction can be received from anyone including from the individual themselves. Our service is for older people, people with learning disabilities, people with dementia and/or carers of the above. We can also work closely with individuals living with mild mental health conditions in the eastern part of Bridgend County Borough and with families in contact with our Early Help Hubs.
Typically, the referrer will fill out a form and send through to communitynavigator@bavo.org.uk

Our Community Navigators cover the whole of Bridgend County Borough.
Funded through Welsh Government’s Integrated Care Fund. Working in partnership with Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Bridgend County Borough Council’s Resilient Connected Communities Programme for Bridgend.
