TLC Working Group Summary

This group was set up to identify the needs of senior citizens and those who are isolated/vulnerable because of health or other issues, enabling them to have a voice to influence decisions which could improve their quality of life and involvement in this community.

The group consisted of 4 residents: Chris Puddephatt, Brian Hill, Gill Sarre, Judith Hodge. 3 Councillors: Lesley Healy, Sally Savage, Corinne Moore (Lead).

The Group met 8 times beginning in August 2023. The last meeting was in June 2024.

It was agreed from the outset that a main objective was to consult on behalf of the Parish Council on how to reach, inform and support more people who are socially isolated in the community. –Tackling Loneliness in the Community hence: TLC

This was to be carried out by listening to people, attending different groups, identifying concerns and hearing ideas. Also, by engaging with businesses and other organizations who could help with the objectives above.

Summary

This Working Group has now disbanded. The Group felt that it had met its initial objectives in terms of identifying needs.  This is an example of the Parish Council actively listening to residents, seeking feedback and responding. In many instances there have been positive results and enthusiastic feedback about changes and developments that have been introduced so far.

 It has also gone a considerable way too, in meeting needs expressed by residents.  Other needs are more complex and are being worked on by interested residents. A home visiting scheme has already been proposed and a resident is exploring this possibility.  This is also the case with a proposed volunteer transport scheme. However, there will always be a range of needs in a large and diverse community such as Farnsfield and hopefully people now feel that there are avenues in which to express their concerns and ideas.   Thanks to everyone who has taken part, both in the group and in the many discussions that have taken place which, it is hoped, will improve the lives of people in this lovely village.
