How
Working in partnership with Community Southwark’s Older People’s Network, SGTO would like to learn from past initiatives such as the Connecting at Christmas project and build on the existing work of TRAs to support Senior Citizens on your estates and streets.
This partnership will depend entirely on what activities that the older people on the estates and street properties would want to be involved in.
Consultation – sharing knowledge
It is likely that some tenants and residents’ groups may have already been consulting with their senior citizens in their neighbourhoods on how they have coped during the lockdown and post-Covid. Others may have thought about supporting their senior citizens to connect more to their community but are not sure how to proceed or may not have funding to be able to do that.
Please email info@sgto.co.uk if you have any particular projects you would like to share with us.
Options
This partnership intends to work with interested TRAs to develop a range of options to help support older people, increase their connections to the community and their health and wellbeing. The options may range from one off events and projects to regular activities delivered by the TRA or another organisation, sharing targeted information and securing funding.
