Together Co
We are a loneliness charity that creates connections to change lives.
We do this through our befriending, social prescribing and volunteering services in Brighton, Hove and beyond, and by sharing our ideas and expertise nationally. In a city of nearly 300,000, no one should be lonely or socially isolated. Together, we can make sure no one is.
Together Co operates the largest one-to-one befriending service in the UK and works with GP surgeries to deliver social prescribing that helps people find places and people they need to feel happier and healthier. Our 400 volunteers give their time every week to help someone who otherwise would be chronically lonely. Last year, this amounted to more than 14,000 hours with over 1,000 people receiving help.
7 GoodGymers have supported Together Co with 1 task.

Chair-ity begins at Hove
Saturday 14th December 2019

On Saturday morning...some having completed the Hove Park park run...some like me running there but arriving too late and missing it...and some meeting at the location....7 of us took part in a community mission to help support a Christmas choir fundraiser for loneliness charity Together Co. They are hoping to raise awareness of their work and raise funds in the community. So having met at All Saints Church in Hove we combined to arrange and line up over 500 chairs and our feng shui abilities were severely tested. After an hour or so of moving chairs,tables and prepping in general we were kindly presented with pastries and tea. A lovely mission in a stunning setting.
