A community network of younger and older neighbours hanging out and helping one another in our rapidly changing city.

With economic and social isolation deepening segregation between younger and older people, there's never been a more important time to build solidarity between generations. Please support our work bringing older and younger neighbours together so everyone can feel part of a changing world, rather than left behind by it.

In times of challenge and change, we all need each other. That's why, during the Covid-19 crisis, East London Cares is bringing older and younger people together from afar – online, on the phone and by post. 

Sharing time is precious – especially as social distancing is keeping us physically apart. Even in regular times, 40% of older people say the TV is their main form of company, and young people are increasingly feeling disconnected too. By supporting East London Cares, you can help neighbours find connection in a disconnecting time.
