The Cares Family

Who we are

The Cares Family (currently North London Cares, South London Cares, Manchester Cares, Liverpool Cares and East London Cares) is a group of community networks of younger and older neighbours hanging out and helping one another in our rapidly changing cities.

We do this to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; to improve the belonging, purpose and power of all participants; and to bring people together to bridge the gaps across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides at a time of rapid change.

From 2019 we are expanding our mission to pilot new projects that bring together different groups that live side-by-side but too seldom interact – to tackle our disconnection in a connected age.
