Reducing the risk of loneliness & social isolation by bringing people together to craft beautiful products, build social connections & celebrate skills.
Hello! After time out to have a baby & focus on other projects, we're SO happy to be back! And with a new #community project! ❤️ Watch this space for how we're bringing #olderpeople & children together to have fun, spread joy, learn about each other & build #connections
"After the age of 25, the number of friendships we maintain begins to fall. But forging new, lasting connections can be simple" - some great tips on how you can #BeMoreUs, featuring the fab @kateileaver https://t.co/W2oNgYbQFK
Positive news! 💥 We've seen the value #SocialPrescribing has had on reducing #loneliness for local people joining our craft groups and we're excited that the #nhs is committing to more @nhslambethccg https://t.co/8rwRFuGQeH
Great day celebrating the start of a new free resident-led #community#knitting project on the Lilford estate in #Brixton 💥 It was a full house with lots of laughter as residents came together to learn and share #creative skills @ProjectSmithLam@lambeth_council @JimDicksLambeth
We all love getting a #Christmas Card. This year, give your a neighbour a knock and deliver it by hand. It's a great way to get to know your neighbour, and could make a huge difference to the millions of people who spend the festive period on their own. #EndLoneliness
Small moments of connection, like saying 'hello', are proven to make a big difference to people who are #lonely. Christmas is a great excuse to start a chat. It could be someone down your street who you see everyday. You can help #EndLoneliness this #Christmas
This year feels like a turning-point. Thousands of people, businesses and organisations are fighting loneliness. There is still much to do but we hope that 2019 can be even bigger and better. Together we can #EndLoneliness https://t.co/wBl0LY6XIu
Feels v.odd to not be with all these lovely knitters today! We've packed our needles away for this year but are busy making #brixton plans for 2019! Thank you so much to @brixtonlibrary@ProjectSmithLam @nhslambethccg @pgtimebank ~ it's been great working with you this year!👏
We strongly believe in the benefits that #socialprescribing brings to local people and the NHS. We're proud to promote our free community projects through #Lambeth GPs and would love to be involved in more! @ProjectSmithLam @nhslambethccg https://t.co/axICxKqjFn
We're very proud that our Wednesday community #knitting group is moving to its new home in the fab brand new @wnorwoodlibrary TODAY & will meet there every Wed 10am-12pm. It's free and friendly and everyone's invited! ☕️🍪@NorwoodForum #WestNorwood#community#ReducingIsolation
