Global intergenerational week: Challenge day 3 - Let’s combat loneliness and social isolation

 

Challenge day 3 (Friday 26th April: Let’s combat loneliness and social isolation

As we continue our journey through Global Intergenerational Week, we turn our focus to a pressing issue that affects people of all ages: loneliness and social isolation. At The Together Project, we believe that intergenerational connections have the power to combat these feelings by fostering a sense of belonging and community.


Challenge for Day 3: Reach Out

Today, we challenge you to reach out to someone who may be feeling lonely or isolated, especially those from different generations. Whether it's a neighbour, a family member, or a resident in a care home, take the time to connect and brighten their day with a friendly conversation, a kind gesture, or an invitation to join in an activity.

Share your experiences on social media using the hashtag #CombatLoneliness and tag @TheTogetherProject to spread awareness about the importance of reaching out and supporting one another. Together, let's create a world where no one feels alone.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's challenge as we continue our mission to unite generations and strengthen communities.
