Village Agent

CAT SWEATMAN  – VILLAGE AGENT

My role as Village Agents is to bridge the gap between isolated, excluded, vulnerable and lonely individuals and statutory and/or voluntary organisations which offer specific solutions to identified needs. All of the support that I offer is free and confidential.

Do you live alone, have a problem and are not sure who to turn to?

Do you need some help  finding the right agency, service or people to turn to?

Are you a carer that needs help and support?

Does your community have a collective problem that needs a kick-start?

Or, if you’re just finding life a bit hard going at the moment, I may be able to help.

I am offering clinics at Lister House Surgery on a Monday and Friday as well as at the Community Rooms, Milverton on Thursday afternoons 12 – 3 every week. Here you will able to book an appointment to see me or pop in for a chat if you are passing.

If you would prefer to meet with me elsewhere, I run a Talking Cafe at The Bear Inn, North Street, Wiveliscombe on a Thursday morning between 10am and 12 noon and can be found at Wiveliscombe House in The Square, Wiveliscombe on a Tuesday morning between 10am and 1pm. I am also able to make home visits if this suits your needs better.

I work 5 days a week and will answer my mobile if I am able to. If I don’t answer, please do leave me a message as I will call you back as soon as I can. Any query, large or small – get in touch.

The feedback received and questions asked were used to construct the Frequently Asked Questions document that can be found on the surgery website to support those interested in understanding more about the planned changes. Here you can find some of their frequently asked questions.

Upcoming webinars are still planned and available to all patients to provide more detail about SHS as an organisation, as well as what integration will mean. The dates of the online sessions are detailed below and to register simply click on the relevant one:
