50 together (360G-OCF-A503728)

The grant will bring together the strengths, experience and resources of Cutteslowe Community Association and those of People in Action by providing a new and dynamic service for those aged 50+ who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation. It will provide two part-time paid coordinators to work with partner organisations and others ncluding Age UK Oxfordshire, beneficiaries and volunteers to establish and grow a new meeting and sharing point through the provision of a social cafe club for the over 50's experiencing social isolation and to also work with the very elderly and those needing a more structured approach with activities organised on their behalf. As well as providing a new social base for regular meetings and events the project will work alongside other new planned initiatives such as our Eat, Grow and Cook Project and our work with Good Food Oxford and the LEAP Project for older men and our developing Good Neighbour Scheme to develop new aspects of service which are beneficiary led. The grant will also be used to address the very real challenges posed in Cutteslowe by the lack of public transport by providing the means for those with mobility problems to engage fully with the project.
