Single point of contact also important
Community hubs are 'essential' in tackling isolation and loneliness amongst Manx residents.
That's the view of a leading figure at a facility in the south of the Island which helps people make sure they don't feel cut off from society.
David Gawne is the chair of The Hub by Southern Community Initiatives in Port Erin.
He says having a single point of contact for people is also important:
