Challenge Social Isolation & Loneliness
Proposed Solution Social Hubs

 

There are various ways to look into potential solutions, but we want to focus on providing social hubs.

Social hubs within local facilities like coffee shops, local cafes, restaurants, libraries and gyms. Connecting people together in public spaces helps people to obtain new connections and friendships, increasing both the number of connections and in time, the quality of the connection.

In providing social hubs local businesses can open up the connection between themselves and their local community

How to get involved:

At this stage we are asking business owners that want to get involved in providing these spaces to register your interest. These hubs can help businesses to find new customers and provide a safe, warm space for people to safely connect.
