Description:

Communicare in Southampton is a charity that can help anyone who needs support in particular those who have little or no support from elsewhere. We help through befriending and supporting isolated people across the city. Our new project is to organise 12 community tea parties throughout the year particularly focusing on sheltered housing and residential warden controlled accommodation. The events will include activities to promote physical and mental activity promoting health and well-being.

Outcome:

This project is ongoing. Improving social networks and reducing loneliness by providing opportunities for people to meet and develop friendships, between peers or intergenerational. It will increase physical activity for older people by having activities as part of the afternoon tea events
