Partnering with Care England and the National Activity Providers Association to Enrich Social Engagement in Care Homes
We are proud to announce our new partnerships with Care England and the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) – two of the most influential organisations in the UK care sector. These collaborations mark an important step in expanding intergenerational connections across care homes nationwide, ensuring more residents benefit from companionship, conversation, and greater social engagement.
With so many older adults in the UK experiencing chronic loneliness, our work has never been more vital. By partnering with these leading organisations, we are making it easier than ever for care homes to introduce our volunteer programme, offering a fully supported way to bring joy and meaningful relationships to residents.
A Movement Backed by Industry Leaders
As the UK’s leading activity and engagement charity, NAPA is dedicated to improving the quality of life for care home residents through meaningful activities.
Through this partnership, we will work with NAPA to help care homes integrate our initiative into their existing activity programmes, enabling residents to form relationships that enhance their mental and emotional wellbeing.
At the same time, Care England – the leading representative body for care providers across England – continues toadvocate for innovative solutions that enhance care services and improve resident experiences.
Becoming a Supporter Member of Care England strengthens our position as a key resource for care homes looking to tackle loneliness and prioritise social connection.
