Generations Together

As the new academic year begins, we would like to announce that Generations Together as a KCL society will no longer be operational. We have had a wonderful time helping the elderly at Blackfriars Settlement and would like to thank all our volunteers for doing such an amazing job! 👏🏼 We urge you to continue doing your part for the cause of alleviating loneliness amongst the elderly and give back to our communities 👵🏻👴🏾

Now more than ever, loneliness amongst the elderly is an issue that needs to be addressed. Nobody should feel alone during these times and here’s how you can help! 👐🏾

Through our Volunteering scheme, we will connect you with someone who needs your help so you can brighten their week through regular conversations! Become a Telephone Befriender by signing up through the link in our Instagram bio! 📞 It’s also a great way to add something to your CV 📄
