“I liked that Meet up Monday was on at a specific time every week. I knew that there would always be people there to chat to. I now know people in other groups through Meet up Mondays – through this I have coach trips planned and have even got contacts for local tradespeople. Above all, the library, its staff, volunteers, and facilities have offered me a welcoming space to meet, socialise, enjoy new experiences, and of course read. It has offered support to many people in the community, a warm space and given them a sense of well-being. It has been lots of fun. Please do it again next winter!”

Encompass Southwest is an independent registered charity that provides a range of advice, information and support services in communities across the south west of England, with a strong focus on rural/rural remote settlements and North Devon.

SCAA
One of the programmes within Encompass's portfolio
The Systems Change Action Alliance (SCAA) is a partnership of Voluntary sector, public sector, health, local authority and decision makers, who have joined together to challenge the current system for people with complex/multiple needs experiencing multiple disadvantages. SCAA members share the belief that a system designed to support people MUST accommodate the whole person, tailoring services to their needs, supporting them holistically and humanely, in ways that we would wish for a loved one.
