Links to local networks and organisations

Poundbury Patients is in touch with many organisations in and around Dorchester that may be able to offer you help and support in a variety of ways. Some are voluntary groups or charities. Some are self-help groups. Others are linked directly to local NHS services.

We will be highlighting the work of these groups as our website and newsletters develop but, in the meantime, you might like to consider the organisations below as a starting point

Please remember that we are unable to endorse any of the organisations listed. You need to make your own decisions about how appropriate they are to you and your family and we would recommend that you speak with your GP before moving forward.

Help and Kindness was launched in November 2019 after 18 months of consultation and research.
