Our latest blog delves into the ins and outs of how we meet new neighbours, and what their journey might look like when first joining South London Cares.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, younger neighbour Jade (30) reflects on this year’s theme, loneliness, and how the friendship she’s built with older neighbour Pat (83) through our Love Your Neighbour programme has enriched both their lives and made them feel more connected after the two isolating years.
As we emerge from the colder winter days, it’s the perfect time to re-explore connections with our friends, community and city. What do you love about south London in the spring? Do you have any traditions that come to life as the buds on the trees emerge?
Our mates on the Love Your Neighbour programme shared with us what they like to do with their friends and family during spring.
Our latest blog gives a behind-the-scenes look into what our Love Your Neighbour team get up to in a typical month and how we ensure that the friendships created on our programme are fun, safe and sustainable.
Having friends is a positive and important aspect of navigating life. It’s been found through research that friendship can help improve our health, reduce stress, increase feelings of belonging, and do wonders for our confidence. Sounds great right? But have you ever thought about what friendship means to you? What makes a good friend?
This March we have 18 social clubs planned, including Art and Crafts, Ballroom and Latin dance, and a trip to Vauxhall City Farm!
This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating connection and friendship with Amadea and Maria, who have been matched up on our Love Your Neighbour programme for over five years now and in that time have shared more than 180 hours of company and conversation.
