Legacy
One year on from suspending our face-to-face activities, we asked our community partners to share their thoughts and experiences of working with us. In this blog, we detail the results.
In celebration of National Intergenerational Week, we’re speaking to Phone a Friend match Jane and Sarah, whose friendship has spanned both generations and social distance over the last 7 months.
As the UK reaches its next stage in the fight against COVID-19, we asked a number of our neighbours from across The Cares Family to talk about their experience of receiving the vaccine.
What do you get when you mix a pandemic, snow, freezing temperatures, and an urgent need for bananas? Answer: a heartwarming story of community connection!
Towards the end of 2020, we surveyed our younger neighbours to gain their thoughts and insights on various aspects of our Virtual Social Club programme — we share the results and the impact.
It’s been a very tough year for everyone in our network, but it's also been amazing to see everyone come together to support each other over the past nine months. Despite all the challenges, we wanted to celebrate what we have all achieved together.
As we head into a new year, we’re looking back on 2020 and the ways in which the older and younger neighbours on our Love Your Neighbour programme came together, even when they had to be apart.
The pace of life has slowed down dramatically due to Covid: we can now pause and appreciate things that we may have overlooked, and take time out to share and converse with our neighbours.
The seasons are changing, and so is our Outreach programme. As further restrictions are put in place to curb the threat of coronavirus, we will be adapting our approach to help better connect our neighbours and communities.
In our latest blog we meet Lauren, who's joined the South London Cares team as our new Love Your Neighbour Programme Coordinator for Lambeth.
