From 2025 to 2028 we are providing grant funding to expand the provision of the Mobile (Community) Warden Schemes across the District. We aim to provide increased coverage and easy access for people wanting help to support independent living, particularly for elderly or vulnerable residents.
If you require assistance in completing either of the below online application forms please email duty.communities@scambs.gov.uk or telephone 01954 713070.
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.
