The HOPE initiative “Helping Older People Engage”. A project which aims to reduce social isolation for seniors during COVID-19, while maintaining the current social distancing advice.
HOPE project will help older people connect with each other, through online engagement and/or other methods that maintain social distancing. We will foster social inclusion for seniors through social phone calls including face to face and offer a Walk While We Talk alternative for those who are not able to use their devices, phones or computers.
