It's good to be connected

We've been running our Wednesday afternoon social clubs for four years now – and they still create the loveliest interactions between younger and older neighbours – week in, week out...
This month has certainly been a busy one in north London. The sun has been shining and our neighbours have shared time and laughter – from taking on the Generation Game at Kentish Town, to Geoff singing his heart out at our Karaoke Club. But very little of this would be possible without the support of our runners, organisers, and volunteers who have donated their time and skills to support their community. Thank you to our April Champions!
The merry month of May is nearly upon us and at North London Cares there are over 20 fantastic events for you to be part of with your older neighbours across Camden and Islington.
Every year for the past six years North London Cares has delivered a major Winter Wellbeing programme – a pro-active outreach effort to help our older neighbours stay warm, active, healthy and connected during the most isolating time of year. Read the report, scan the infographic and learn about how our networked approach helps reduce isolation and bring the community together.
In the summer, we will be marking six years of friendship shared between younger and older neighbours across our patch. And to celebrate, we're having our biggest party yet.
At the end of March, our wonderful supporters donned their aprons and oven gloves to get baking for their community and raise money North London Cares’ spring social clubs. And they did a fantastic job, raising an awesome £1,500!
In February, Ted, Maria and the gang at Kentish Town got crafty making greetings cards, which are now available for you to buy thanks to the team over at thortful.
Spring has finally arrived to north London, and friendships continue to bloom across our patch. But without our amazing volunteers and supporters, very little of this would be possible. Thank you to our March champions!
For two consecutive weeks Islington neighbours young and old attended a social club in Clerkenwell that encouraged them to focus on all things happy!
Proud north Londoners, community baker Ishoo and 2016 Great British Bake Off winner, Candice Brown, came along to meet and share time with their older neighbours at North London Cares’ ‘Cakes for Clerkenwell’ Social Club yesterday.
