MakingConnections

MakingConnections Connecting the generations to tackle stereotyping, isolation and loneliness Strong, happy, stimulating friendships have been cultivated as a result.

We at Making Connections are inspired by a simple but powerful idea: that people living within a community have a natural gift for friendship and a desire to help those around them. In order to promote this culture of connection, we arrange for volunteers to visit and get to know older member of the community who live independently. We would like to invite you to be a part of this. Experience

has taught us that something as simple as a regular visitor can greatly improve a person's quality of life and help them maintain their independence. While we go to great lengths to facilitate this, we believe that the true fulfilment of our idea exists in people all over the country seizing the initiative and creating a culture of connection within their own communities. There is a magic here that we cannot pin down. Nor can we predict the full range of experiences you will gain by taking part, because the possibilities are limitless. All we can do is help you make the connection.
