LinkAges is our project that helps combat
elderly isolation through intergenerational
work.
This year saw even more projects be set up,
including a gym buddy scheme at River Park
Leisure. This is alongside our continuing
activities such as our annual Tea Party.

the volunteers have given to

During lockdown, we ensured that the elderly were
not forgotten. We set up pen pal schemes where
