A new online service will be launched in Bradford to help people stay in their homes for longer, improve health and wellbeing and reduce isolation.
Rally Round allows a network to be created around a person with care needs. Anything that the person needs help with can be listed as a task and trusted friends, family members, neighbours or staff involved in their care can see this, discuss it, agree to take it on and let everyone know when it has been done.
It is a voluntary based neighbourhood support service and is free to use.
It works on desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones and a daily or weekly email provides a useful reminder of what has been agreed to do.
Lyn Sowray, Assistant Director of Adult and Community Services - Operational Services, asid: "Rally Round is an exciting new service which has been designed to support people to maintain independence and improve their health. The online system is easy to use and can be securely accessed at any time to make life easier and safer."
Rally Round is part of Bradford Council’s People Can campaign which will actively promote all the good things that people are already doing in their communities as well as encouraging more people to volunteer and get involved in community life.
