CCA Help Elderly Local People Scheme (HELPS)

Are you aged Over 50 years and live in Camden? Are you bored, lonely or just looking for something to do?


Loneliness, isolation and exclusion in older age can happen for a variety of reasons. Some people are widowed, some find themselves less mobile than before and for others, friends and family may have moved away.  All too often, this marks the start of a downward spiral into depression, illness and in many cases poverty.
