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.

Making It Easy for Care Homes to Get Involved

We provide care homes with an easy-to-implement, fully safeguarded programme that manually matches residents with volunteers based on shared interests. These connections are nurtured through our secure AI-powered platform, ensuring every interaction is safe, engaging, and beneficial to residents' wellbeing.

By signing up, care homes will benefit from:

• A structured, fully managed initiative that seamlessly fits into their existing activity schedules.

• One-on-one video calls and ongoing engagement that create lasting bonds.

• A proven approach to reducing loneliness, improving cognitive health, and increasing resident happiness.

• Endorsement from leading care sector organisations, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and resident wellbeing.

Our Founder and CEO, Shaleeza Hasham, shared:

"We are thrilled to be working with both Care England and NAPA – two organisations that share our commitment to improving quality of life for older adults. Loneliness should never be a normal part of ageing, and by joining forces with these sector leaders, we are making it easier than ever for care homes to introduce our programme and foster meaningful connections for their residents. Together, we can ensure that no older person feels forgotten."

These partnerships mark a turning point in how care homes approach social engagement, combining industry expertise, volunteer support, and cutting-edge technology to address one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time.
