The Growing Problem of Loneliness in Disabled People
According to Sense's research 61% of disabled people are now feeling very lonely most of the time and this goes up to almost 70% for young disabled people.
We are thrilled to begin a collaboration with the GOALD Project and University of Plymouth to understand the needs of older people using digital tech & to get feedback on our ideas. Generating Older Active Lives Digitally (GOALD) puts older & younger people together to co-create & test digital technologies which aim to increase activity levels & wellbeing in older people. Happy to work together on bridging the digital divide & supporting healthy ageing.
Generating Older Active Lives Digitally (GOALD) uses intergenerational groups to examine how to design and deliver digital resources to provide and engage older people in structured activity programs with the aim of improving their health and wellbeing. You can read more about their work here.
