Kernow Gateway
Kernow Gateway has been launched to provide access to a range of voluntary sector support. Cornwall's charities and community groups have combined forces to support people.
In response to increasing living costs and pressures across the health and care system in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, a unique partnership of more than 50 voluntary organisations has been working with NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board to offer ongoing support to communities across the Duchy.
Kernow Gateway has a dedicated telephone line available for everyone and provides access to a wide range of professional voluntary sector support.
What does it provide?
It will provide a ‘gateway to independence’, working with people to identify their needs and put appropriate packages of support in place. The Gateway aims to create personalised plans that prevent hospital admissions, reduce social isolation, and improve wellbeing. It will also connect people to mental health support, community activities and wider winter support including hot food and warm spaces.
