About Us

Call us: 07535 164 014

Laughter, connection, value and friendship all play a vital role in our well-being. Meaningful connection and community help our sense of belonging and purpose into later life.

Caraway aims to facilitate this for older people across Southampton. Founded in 2018 we have been growing a dedicated team of Chaplains and volunteers who come alongside older people and help them to navigate the experiences and changes later life brings.

Whether a home visit, a telephone call, or at a local community group or Care Home – we aim to:

• Combat loneliness
• Create community
• Celebrate life

Team

“thank you for the support and encouragement you have given me over these past months of working as a Wellbeing Volunteer for Dementia. It has been great coming on board, with lots to learn”

Volunteer, Dementia Well-being

"Just wanted to say a huge Thank You to you and your colleagues who put together yesterday’s event. Our Residents that came along had a fantastic time, it was lovely hearing all about their day when they got home. Many Thanks."

Care Home Manager, Holiday at Home

"Well, it is very uplifting for me as a carer, because I must say, I have felt very isolated. I didn't expect much to be honest, but talking to other carers and others living with Dementia, it uplifts us all. It really does. We have a lovely little community of friends. So Thank you."

Carer, Memory Cafe

I'm so grateful for the chaplaincy service you are able to offer, and for your kindness and interest in my aunt's life at such a vulnerable and difficult time. I can't find the right words to express my appreciation and gratitude, it makes such a positive difference.

Sue

"I enjoy seeing people who have been isolated, now connected with others and through that feeling more hopeful than they were before. Noticing people's sense of self worth increase is wonderful".

Dave, Chaplain for Dementia
