The funding will be used to continue and build upon group's Building Connections project � Chat Central. The project links people with shared interests through individual conversations or group activities which in turn helps to break down barriers of perception build new relationships and as a result gives a greater sense of awareness and understanding of the diversity and culture across the local community. It will also support people experiencing isolation to access volunteering opportunities and community activity that could help them to feel positive and give them confidence to form new social connections and relationships.
