Sid Valley Help is a charity that signposts to health and social care organisations and provides a befriending service
The aims of Sid Valley Help are to: provide a signposting service on health and care support services in the Sid Valley; build a network of local support organisations; and identify gaps in non-statutory health and care support services and help to fill them. Current priorities are reducing loneliness in all age groups and mental wellbeing health, particularly in children and young people.

Our activities include: - we support 30 vulnerable households with social visits and help with shopping through our Befriending Service - we operate a signposting service with a website and telephone and email contacts that provides information on local, county and national health and social care services - we run classes and social events such as weekly Strength & Balance Classes and a monthly group for Young at Heart Ladies - we hold network meetings and training sessions for Sidmouth's voluntary health and social care organisations and are part of the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) network in East Devon - we attend the weekly NHS Community Health & Social Care team meetings - we work closely with other local and national voluntary organisations trying to identify gaps in provision and we try to fill them.
