Read our new learning report: ‘Outreach during Covid-19 - How to set up walking groups to foster social connections between older people’
During the Covid-19 pandemic, our Outreach Team had to find new ways to proactively find and engage with the socially isolated older people who ‘no one knows’. When regulations have allowed, they have used innovative methods to meet with older people.
This guide documents the Outreach Team’s approach to establishing walking groups to foster neighbourhood relationships between older people during the Covid-19 pandemic. We have written the guide for practitioners working to address social isolation and loneliness among older people who may want to set up similar groups.
