Positive wellbeing

How we can support you

Our highly trained community wardens can support you to live well at home and become part of your community. They challenge the disconnection, loneliness and isolation many people face and support you to reconnect, be active and have purpose – your own way.

If you are feeling isolated or lonely, then maybe a community warden can help you find positive wellbeing.

Would you like our support?

Our community wardens work in various local communities across Kent. If you are looking for support, or want to refer someone else for support, you can find the contact details for your local Warden Team Leader below:
