Objectives

At Together Co we connect people, places and ideas to create a society that everyone can be part of.

We think human connection is powerful. We help people make these connections through our befriending, social prescribing and volunteering services in Brighton, Hove and beyond. We’re making sure our ideas and expertise reach even more people through our consultancy work.

Activities

Together Co is Brighton and Hove’s leading loneliness charity, creating connections that change lives. We connect people, places and ideas to create a society that everyone can be part of by running befriending and social prescribing services that support over 1000 people a year and have a volunteer team of over 500.  In the past two years, our work has been more critical than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic has kept people apart from their community, essential supplies and support.  In response, we have grown rapidly, serving more and different people.

  • 44,000 people live alone in Brighton & Hove
  • 1 out of 3 of these people are over 65
  • 29% increased risk of death from social isolation
  • Our volunteers give about 16,000 hours of support a year

We’ve been supporting people to make life-changing connections for more than twenty years. We’ll keep doing so until everyone has someone they can count on.
