Combating Social Isolation
This initiative is part of Forest Care Village's ongoing commitment to community engagement and aims to address the significant issue of social isolation, which disproportionately affects older adults. Research from Age UK indicates that nearly a million people aged 65 and over report frequent loneliness, and many older adults have limited social contact each week. The programme offers a consistent, accessible, and friendly environment for people of all ages to socialise.
