Coastal Community Connections (North Berwick) SCIO

Constitutional objectives

The purposes for which the Charity is established are to advance the physical and mental health of people (without distinction of religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, race and disability) in the North Berwick Coastal area by addressing social isolation and loneliness through: i. Receiving referrals from local General Practitioners, other health professionals and community organisations and agencies and individuals (including self-referrals). ii. Assisting members to connect with local activities and organisations in order that they might engage and integrate into the community. iii. Working with relevant agencies to help develop local initiatives to reduce loneliness and isolation. iv. Establishing, operating and supporting peer groups and networks engaging people who are isolated or lonely, people who may need emotional support through anxiety, loss of contact and those who may be bereaved. v. Maintaining a register of local organisations and activities to which members might be connected. vi. Undertaking, as the charity shall from time to time determine, all other things as are charitable in law for the attainment of the purposes.
