Thurrock Cares: Events and Drop-ins
Wellbeing Support Surgeries

Your Local Area Coordinators
Our team of local area coordinators are out and about in the communities right across Thurrock offering residents help and advice.
The Local Area Co-ordination drop ins aim to support adults 18+ in leading fulfilling lives by connecting them with local resources and community networks.
The individual must live in Thurrock to receive Local Area Co-ordination support. Rather than offering formal care, they ask individuals what a good life looks like to them and guide them in finding local support to achieve it.
