Living Well Community Wellness and Empowerment Service
The Living Well Community Wellness and Empowerment Service offers Havering residents aged 18-64 years free wellbeing support in the community.
The service is commissioned by Havering Council and delivered by Tapestry Care UK and partner organisations through community hubs in Rainham, Harold Hill, Romford and Hornchurch.
What does 'Live Well' mean?
"Living Well" is a term often used by the NHS and councils. It means helping people live healthy, fulfilling and independent lives within their communities.
The aim is to help people access the support they need before they require more intensive health or social care services.
Who can use this service?
This free service is for Havering residents aged 18 to 64 who may:
- Feel lonely, isolated or disconnected from others
- Have a mental health condition
- Be autistic or neurodivergent
- Have a long-term health condition
- Have a disability
- Care for a family member, partner or friend
The service welcomes people from all backgrounds and communities.
