Delivered by CWSAN & COSTA across Mid Ulster
for local communities and groups
CWSAN and COSTA support networks in Mid Ulster wish to assist you plan some winter activities that meet the needs of the most vulnerable people in your community. We can also consider directly Funding those new activities or projects that you identify in your local area. You simply tell us what you want to do on the attached form and we’ll follow up with you. If you’re not too sure have a look at our ideas aide & lists (also attached) but if you have your own project in mind then just let us know some of the detail.
This “Warm, Well and Connected” (WWC) programme aims to reach out to help people that are and have been acutely affected by COVID 19. We are asking your group to help identify what jointly we can do for those most vulnerable in your community to stay Warm, Well and Connected.
There are 6 groups of people that we wish to target and 4 themes. The groups range from children right through to older people and the key themes are physical activity, mental health, nutrition and tackling isolation. If you are thinking of running any activities for these groups and themes between now and the 31st March 2021 (obviously only those activities that are permissible under relevant Government Covid 19 restrictions at the time your project is scheduled for), then get in touch with us using the form ( WWC MU Needs ID form) and return it by email. There will NOT be a further application to fill out as we will be in contact with you on receipt of this form.
We are delivering the WWC programme across all of Mid Ulster on behalf of The Dept. for Communities and the Dept. for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and any activities we fund will need some input from you the local community association; be you a women’s group, men’s shed, community association, health group, sports club, or halls group etc.
Your key role is in identifying local need, suggesting new project/activity ideas and getting local people to take part with their feedback on how your programme went. The monitoring process will be simple and based on tick box scorecards which we will provide.
We ask you to plan prudently so that the overall project budget and funds can be shared widely over all of the groups and themes across Mid Ulster between now and end of March.
We look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully we can help you ensure that the most vulnerable members in your community stay Warm, Well and are better Connected into local help, services or activity. Please fill in the attached form (section 1 & 2) and return as soon as possible by email to wwc@cwsan.org

Communities Minister’s £6.5m additional support
for vulnerable people over the Christmas period
Communities Minister Carál Ní Chuilín has allocated a further £6.5million to support those most severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The programmes will be delivered in partnership with local councils, health trusts, charities and the community and voluntary sector, to ensure support is directed swiftly to those most in need.
The Minister said: “Throughout this pandemic my priority has been to help those most in need. These additional allocations will allow me to continue to do that as people face the added financial and emotional pressures of Christmas and the New Year.
“This additional funding will help provide access to food, access to support around period poverty and will help to keep people ‘warm, well and connected’ at a particularly difficult time of the year. It will be directly targeted at the most vulnerable, including children and young people; carers; older people; people living with a disability; and anyone who has lost income as a result of Covid-19."
“I am acutely aware of the detrimental impact the pandemic has had on people’s emotional and physical wellbeing, so addressing loneliness and isolation, emotional wellbeing and financial hardship relating to household bills, is a key focus of this support.”
Minister Ní Chuilín continued: “My Department will continue to work with all relevant stakeholders to ensure we get support to those people to address their most basic needs."
“I want to pay tribute to the many organisations and individual volunteers who have been working tirelessly to support our communities and will continue to do so over Christmas and into the New Year.”
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs has also contributed £100,000 to the Warm, Well & Connected programme which will be delivered by the Rural Support Networks.
Anyone in need of support should contact the Covid-19 Community Helpline, which is managed by Advice NI, freephone number 0808 802 0020. You can also get in touch by email: covid19@adviceni.net: text: ACTION to 81025, or by completing a form on the Advice NI website(external link opens in a new window / tab). Further details will also be available through the programmes’ lead partners: councils; health trusts, charities and partnered community and voluntary groups.
