Our services are designed to support individuals, families, and communities in achieving their full potential.
One of our core services is Community Transport. We provide safe, reliable, and affordable transport solutions for people who have mobility issues or live in areas with limited public transport options. Our fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vehicles that are operated by trained drivers who prioritize passenger safety.
We also offer Home Services for elderly or disabled individuals who need assistance with daily tasks such as cleaning, shopping, or meal preparation. Our team consists of compassionate professionals who understand the importance of maintaining independence while receiving support.
Specialist Counselling is another service we provide at Community First New Forest. We recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health; therefore we offer confidential counseling sessions for individuals experiencing emotional distress or mental health issues.

Education and Training are also essential components of our service offerings at Community First New Forest. We provide training courses on various topics such as first aid training for volunteers working in community settings; safeguarding training for those working with vulnerable adults/children; digital skills training etc., which help individuals develop new skills while contributing positively towards their communities.
Shopmobility is another service we offer at Community First New Forest. We provide mobility scooters and wheelchairs for people who need assistance with shopping or accessing town centers. Our Shopmobility service enables individuals to participate in community life without being restricted by mobility issues.
Young Carers is a service that we provide for young people who care for family members with disabilities or long-term illnesses. We offer support, advice, and guidance to young carers, helping them balance their caring responsibilities with their education and social lives.

We operate several community buildings across Hampshire that serve as hubs for various activities such as meetings, training sessions, social events etc., which bring people together and foster a sense of community spirit.
