About this cause
We aim to improve wellbeing and reduce loneliness and isolation for older people and people living with dementia in East Renfrewshire. We achieve this through "community helping community", harnessing the skills and experience of volunteers to deliver our groups and activities.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our groups and activities will bring older people together to share companionship, fun and food. This will help to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation and increase the sense of being part of a community, which can help to increase lifelong wellbeing.
