Additional Information

BuddyHub creates social circles of like-minded new friends for older people called 'Friendship Wheels'. We connect older people (Seniors) to three new like-minded Buddy volunteers who live locally and with whom they can share visits and activities as they wish. We recently won the Mayor’s Civic Innovation Challenge for Loneliness and Isolation too! https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/arts-and-culture/mayor-londons-civic-innovation-challenge
