About us
Who we are
Christchurch Community Partnership (CCP) is a small charity with a big vision: to end social isolation for all adults in Christchurch, Dorset.
Social isolation can kill. Loneliness acts as a fertiliser for medical conditions and ill health. It can increase the risk of mortality by 26%. But together, we can end social isolation and save lives.
Christchurch Community Partnership (CCP) provides a unique combination of integrated services that can be tailored to an individual’s needs. These include two transport services, Dial a Bus and Neighbour Cars, and three community connection services, Christchurch Angels, Helpful Neighbours and Coffee Connections.
Thanks to the support of our amazing volunteers, we provide essential help to those who might otherwise struggle to access services, and enable our clients to reconnect to the community. We also work in close partnership with other organisations that offer community support, to coordinate vital services and avoid duplicating provision.
People are typically referred to CCP by the adult social care, NHS professionals such as GPs and social prescribers, or by neighbours and relatives. Self-referrals can also be made directly by people who need support. Find out more about how to access our transport services and community connection services.
In 2022, CCP was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for Voluntary Services in recognition of the ‘vital, non- judgmental services’ it provides to people who are ‘vulnerable, marginalised and excluded’.
