We strive to give an excellent service incorporating the wishes and requirements of both the Service User, their families and other professionals including GP’s, District Nurses, Continence Nurses and others.

We work with Social Services and have a large Service User base having to meet certain criteria set by Social Services.

Our care packages are reviewed regularly to ensure the quality of care, the requirements have not changed and that generally everyone involved is happy with the care provided.

Doctors Surgery

We help people through one of the most painful times in life – with bereavement support, information and campaigning.

Our Helpline is run by trained bereavement volunteers, who offer emotional support to anyone affected by grief.

We’ll give you space to talk about your feelings and how you’ve been coping. Our volunteers are completely non-judgemental and won’t share what you’ve told them with anyone else, unless you are in danger.

Cruse offers a free and confidential service to anyone affected and bereaved by suicide, or suspected suicide, in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

When someone dies by suicide, or suspected suicide, it can be one of the most difficult and distressing times of someone’s life. The impact on families, friends and communities can be devastating.
Some people need support straight away, others reach out later – and that’s ok. We are all different and our own personal circumstances will also be different.
Whether you need emotional support or practical support, Cruse's team of specialists are here to help you.

Cruse can help with:
• Individual support for adults
• Individual support for children and young people and their families
• Practical support when dealing with the Police or Coroner
• Help on an individual basis, in groups or community settings
• Support for schools and workplaces
• Cruse can also put you in touch with other local services that can help

Cycling Without Age (Portsmouth) is an exciting project which aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness in Portsmouth and Hayling Island.

Our purpose is to give people who are living in isolation, or suffering with loneliness, the opportunity to partner with our fully trained and DBS-checked volunteers to take rides around Portsmouth and Hayling Island in one of our Triobike electric tricycles, experiencing the sights
and sounds of our local community.

Our team of over 60 volunteers provides safe, stimulating rides out for people seven days a week, with a capacity for more than 250 rides each month.

We have volunteers from many backgrounds, which allows us to ‘buddy up’ people with a volunteer pilot who shares some common interests, allowing lasting relationships to form and the sharing of intergenerational stories which may have otherwise been long forgotten.

Our friendly volunteers are current, competent cyclists with a strong awareness of road safety who are also able to offer a kind ear to listen and good conversation where required. We are ambassadors for the project, building lasting relationships with our passengers, and look to build strong relationships with the local public in raising awareness for the project.

In the ebb and flow of modern life, particularly in times of crisis such as COVID-19, it’s easy to become isolated from everything that you know. Family, friends, work, and social life have been affected greatly. Lockdown has had a profound effect on all of us, and for some the anxiety surrounding reintroduction post-lockdown is a significant barrier to their return to social life.

Our compassionate, friendly pilots are here to help. CWA Portsmouth is here to offer support to empower you to overcome those struggles. Whether you’re older and isolated, or face challenges with your physical and/or mental health, we can help you to reconnect with the world outside your door, and with yourself.
