Social Isolation and Loneliness has a serious negative impact on older people’s health and wellbeing. 
The three Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups have invested in a grants programme to tackle this problem. Manchester’s three Clinical Commissioning Groups have awarded funding to 29 projects across Manchester to provide social activities for people over 50 years old. Projects offer a variety of activities, skills and support.
A hobby journal is available detailing all funded projects and how to contact them. Copies are available by contacting Oliver Cranfield on 0161 834 9823, or email: [email protected].
