Connecting people, strengthening communities, and supporting wellbeing
Nottingham Social Impact brings people together from all walks of life to reduce loneliness, build understanding, and create welcoming community spaces where everyone feels valued and included.
Who We Are
Nottingham Social Impact was developed through conversations with local people across Nottingham. By listening to individuals from different backgrounds, ages, and life experiences, we identified shared challenges around loneliness, isolation, and the lack of welcoming spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves.
These insights highlighted the need for inclusive environments where people can connect naturally, share experiences, and access support without pressure or barriers.
Community voices continue to guide our work, ensuring everything we do is grounded in lived experience rather than assumptions.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to reduce loneliness and social isolation by creating inclusive, community-led spaces that help people connect, feel supported, and build meaningful relationships.
We work alongside individuals and communities to encourage understanding, shared experiences, and wellbeing through listening, collaboration, and participation that is open to everyone.
OUR VISION
Our vision is a connected, confident, and thriving community where people of all ages and backgrounds feel a strong sense of belonging.
We believe in neighbourhoods where people look out for one another, differences are respected, and support is accessible, welcoming, and shaped by real community needs.
What We Do
Our support and activities are shaped by the people who take part in them. We create inclusive, relaxed, and welcoming spaces that encourage connection, reduce loneliness, and respond to the real needs and experiences of our local community.
Inclusive Community Gatherings
Relaxed and welcoming social sessions such as coffee mornings, group activities, and open conversation spaces that help people connect, feel comfortable, and reduce loneliness in a supportive environment.
Listening and Storytelling Spaces
Facilitated sessions that give people the opportunity to share their experiences, be heard, and listen to others. These spaces encourage understanding, empathy, and connection across different backgrounds and life experiences.
Intergenerational Connection Activities
Activities that bring people of different ages together to share skills, stories, and perspectives, helping to build mutual respect, confidence, and stronger relationships within the community.
Practical Support and Community Signposting
Friendly guidance and support to help individuals access local services, community groups, and resources. Where needed, we offer additional help to ensure people feel supported and not overwhelmed.
