Hello, I’m Suzy Coombes, your Village Agent dedicated to South Petherton, Over Stratton, Wigborough, Yeabridge, Compton Durville and Watergore.
What is a Village Agent?
The Village Agent service is part of Thrive, the new name for the Community Council for Somerset. It offers free, confidential, practical support to anyone in need, including community groups.
Village Agents are local, problem-solving solution finders. There are over 60 Village Agents across Somerset.
Sounds interesting but WHO can they help?
A Village Agent can help if….
- you are looking after a friend or family member on an unpaid basis and need a little help and support – for you and the person you care for
- you are struggling with a problem, big or small, but don’t know where to turn
- you are feeling lonely and isolated
- you are part of a community with a collective problem and need a kick start to solve it
Each person’s situation is unique, and there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. A Village Agent can help make life better with the right connections, and practical community-based solutions.
Please do get in touch if you think I can help. Call my mobile: 07931 017890
or email: suzyc@somersetrcc.org.uk
My typical working days are: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
