Dorchester Poverty Action Open meeting Wed 30 Sept 7pm at Dorford Centre

Everyone needs support at various points of their life and often it is knowing where to turn. What does a social prescriber do at your local GP surgery and who are Access Wellbeing, who have just opened on High East St in Dorchester. Both provide services to help our well-being.

Social prescribers work with people of every age, who may be lonely or isolated, live with a long term condition or have complex social needs. They can give you time, which is more difficult in a busy GP practice. Time is a precious commodity which can help many issues. Access Wellbeing again helps anyone over 18 providing early help to prevent concerns escalating whether it be finances, work or housing.

Come and find out more at this Open meeting about how DPA and these organisations help local people and could help YOU or those you work with. Dorchester Poverty Action (DPA) works closely with these and many other referring organisations. Over the last year DPA has been busy helping local people living in DT1 and DT2 with their wellbeing through grants for nursery equipment, washing
machines for young families or with car repairs, so someone can get to work. £76,000 was distributed in grants over the year. This is a 28% increase in individual grants over the last year and a 66% increase over the last 5 years. Without the very generous donations from local people, churches and businesses none of this would be possible. Everyone welcome on Wed Sept 30 th at 7pm at the Dorford Centre. For more information go to dorchesterpovertyaction.org.uk.

We had a lovely afternoon at the Lion's Dorchester Summer fest 2026 and ran a competition with the question "How many people did our Food Share feed last week?" We had a very worthy winner, Terry, who guessed the exact number of 197 (there were 99 adults and 98 children and teens)

Our Thanks to the Dorchester Food Bank for donating a batch of Triple Chocolate Brownies as a prize, which we delivered to Terry this week and a big thanks to the Dorchester Lions for running this welcoming Community Event.
