Our focus on Healthy People, Strong Communities is apparent in the way that we aim to educate and engage the community. United Way’s goals include improving access to social and health related support, to mobilize and support resident and community engagement, and to support community integration and settlement. Funded agencies are committed to providing services that help build relationships, generate awareness and gives someone a second chance.
Some of the programs that the United Way of Haldimand and Norfolk fund that help to build a strong and healthy community are:
Student and Volunteer Services – Agency recruits, screens, orients, places, and supports community volunteers in roles to help H-N REACH to enhance the services and supports provided
Club T.R.U.E. (Together, Recreation, Understanding & Enjoyment) – This program offers a safe and supportive place for those living with mental illness. Included in the program are scheduled activities and events, providing a consistent routine which stimulates mental health.
.
CYPRESS 55+ – This program offers a friendly and unique place for adults 55 years and older to gather for activities varying from health and wellness to crafts, yoga, and more.
