Hello! Leicester Ageing Together is a small group of local and national charities set up 5 years ago to reduce social isolation, particularly amongst older people, in parts of Leicester. We’ve learned some ways of helping people to keep in touch, meet new people and do things to boost their mood even from their own home. We want to share these with you and encourage everyone to try #DistantSocialising
This website will soon contain ideas and information about things you can do at home, when you're self-isolating and socially distancing. The information is designed to help you find something new and different to do, or find new ways of doing things you enjoy; whether it's discovering astronomy, gardening learning a new language, playing games with friends, finding a penpal or creating quizzes.
