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 📄

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Generations Together this year. It has been a year of many changes and uncertainty, so the support of our volunteers has been appreciated more than ever.

We look forward to welcoming you all back for more volunteering in the new year. 😊🎁
