NOW CLOSED. Independent Age Reconnections pilot - working with local communities to address loneliness Jan 2020 - Dec 2021

[Reconnections Barking & Dagenham and Havering @ReconnectionsBH]

Thank you to everyone who supported the Reconnections pilot in Barking & Dagenham and Havering. We have now moved out of Barking Learning Centre and the pilot has closed. Referral partners, staff, volunteers and local activity colleagues you have been amazing.

Today we said goodbye and good luck to our amazing service manager Chrissy. Luckily for you guys she will be staying in the patch as she's bagged herself a fab new job. With our pilot closing it's doors in Dec we knew we couldn't keep her forever but she will be hugely missed.

I was a hill walker at 60+. Now at 85 am very limited by OA and heart.
I want to know how I am expected to get out and about, to bottle bank, dump, shops and fun etc. without a car. Not on a cycle!
Need v local transport systems for older people.

There seems to be a lot of different views on Step 4, coming out of lockdown. Some are over the moon and embracing, others are very anxious and worried, which is expected. More guidance here from LBBD if it helps you; https://t.co/o0qFrAWq1u
