Stronger Community Services in Porlock Vale

Living Well in Porlock Vale Starts Here – Join Your Community Day

Porlock Vale CIC is at the heart of our community, leading an exciting new initiative to help people live well, stay strong, and remain independent with support from the Accelerating Reform Fund from Somerset Council.  We’re passionate about making sure everyone feels supported, has real choice, and can access high-quality care and advice whenever it’s needed.

With one of the most ageing populations in the UK, and as an area facing real challenges, this work matters more than ever. Our aim is simple: to make sure everyone in Porlock Vale has the support they need to live confidently and independently at home and in the community.

Join us on 12th June 2026 for a day full of conversation, connection, learning—and a sprinkle of fun!
Porlock Vale CIC is teaming up with Somerset Activity & Sports Partnership, NHS Somerset Foundation Trust, Living Better team and numerous other organisations to bring you a friendly, welcoming event where you can explore the many ways to stay active, healthy, and independent.

We’ll also be launching our new community support services, including:

• A helpful information programme
• Micro-provider services
• The Good Neighbour Scheme

Come along and meet our caring and knowledgeable partners, who’ll be on hand to chat, answer questions, and offer support—whether you need it now or just want to plan for the future.

Everyone is welcome! Drop in anytime between 10:30am and 4:00pm—no need to book.  Honoured guests include the Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Rear Admiral Ian Moncrieff and High Sheriff of Somerset, Peter Dixon and High Sherriff in Nomination Nina Coad, Rachel Gilmour MP and Mike Best Chair Somerset Council along with local guests and our wonderful community champions.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Porlock Vale gathering without a warm welcome and refreshments will be available all day, lovingly prepared by the Porlock Vale Chef and served by the fantastic Porlock Ladies.

Come along, say hello, and be part of something special—we’d love to see you there!
