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.
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.
Typically, the referrer will fill out a form and send through to communitynavigator@bavo.org.uk
You will likely be contacted by a member of our team to gain any additional information before they make contact with the individual.
Our Community Navigators cover the whole of Bridgend County Borough.
