HELP – Harrogate Easier Living Project (helpharrogate.org.uk)

Living well is a service run by North Yorkshire County council aimed to increase the health, wellbeing and independence of adults who are in need of support due to issues such as social isolation, bereavement, and those that are vulnerable. Living well workers work with individuals to help them identify what is important to them, and help them to make simple changes to lifestyle and environment, identifying barrier to change and try to help work out how to overcome those barriers.
