Mobile Warden Scheme

Mobile and Community Warden Schemes (sometimes called Community Care Schemes) have been set up in South Cambridgeshire to support older people to live independently in their homes and in the community they know, and which knows them.

The warden schemes are complementary to statutory care services and do not duplicate or replace the medical or social care services that individuals may also require. They can help to combat loneliness and social isolation, and can provide significant benefits to clients at relatively low cost. They are seen by clients and their families as a vital community-based service.

The following Mobile and Community Warden Schemes currently exist. For the period 2021 to 2024 we are offering grant funding for new and existing schemes across the District, via an application process.
