Legacy
Irene and Keerthi are two ordinary south London neighbours who've become extraordinary friends through our Love Your Neighbour programme. They've now known each other for a year! Here, Keerthi shares their story so far.
After nearly two years' work, South London Cares are really happy to publish a full length evaluation funded by the Cabinet Office and Nesta through their Centre for Social Action Innovation Fund, and undertaken by the social researchers Renaisi.
How better to spend an afternoon than in the pub, swapping stories with your mates? Recently, the lovely bunch at Trainline got together with their older neighbours for an extra special afternoon of doing just that!
A recent trip with South London Cares to Myatt’s Field Park was a trip back to the past for social club regular Pat, 83, who hadn’t been back there for 40 years. Check out Morgan's blog and find out what community means to Pat.
Summer may have said its final farewell, but at SLC we’ve lined up a corker of a social club calendar with 21 exciting events to help ease you and your older neighbours into the autumn.
We recently discovered that Tony, a regular at our Streatham and Elephant and Castle social clubs, is a brilliant poet. Here we share some of his wonderful poems about loneliness, introspection and the friends he's made through South London Cares.
Val has recently joined South London Cares as our new Development Coordinator. Here, she describes what 'community' means to her.
We're chuffed that Yogarise in Peckham have chosen to make South London Cares their Charity Partner this August. Our Development Coordinator Emily went to go and check out their community class – and came away feeling super zen.
The sizzle of summer may be drawing to a close (and what a summer it’s been!) but with September just around the corner, we’ve got a whole new term of fresh, fun events to keep you and your older neighbours in the holiday mood.
As our summer gardening project comes to a close, how better to pave the way for more acts of green goodness than share what we got up to? Check out how our volunteers have helped their older neighbours to make the most of their gardens this summer.
