Colder temperatures and shorter days can make it harder to maintain social connections. However, there are numerous organisations which help to reduce loneliness in Camden. They can be found here with their opening hours.  

Keeping carers socially connected 

Mobilise is a charity which provides emotional, practical, and financial support to carers in Camden. They are holding online social ‘cuppas’. If someone wants to join but has not attended before, there is also an FAQ page and introductory video. 

Camden Carers are also continuing to host social events in-person and online over the winter months, including art sessions, chair-based yoga, and creative writing. The full schedule and joining details can be found here.  

Keeping older people socially connected
