Social isolation and loneliness
Many people experience social isolation and loneliness at different times in their lives.
This can be very detrimental to both our physical and mental health, so it is important to take action to improve our wellbeing. We offer a range of services and opportunities designed to support community engagement and improve quality of life:
- Library-based groups and activities
Local libraries host a variety of events and social groups that encourage learning, interaction, and community participation. - Adult learning courses
Residents can enrol in educational programmes that promote personal development and provide opportunities to meet others with shared interests. - Volunteering opportunities
Volunteering at Hillingdon's heritage sites allows individuals to contribute to the community while building meaningful connections. - Warm Welcome Centres
These centres offer a safe, inclusive space where residents can enjoy refreshments, engage in conversation, and access support services. - Dementia-friendly activities
A range of tailored activities are available to support individuals living with dementia and their carers, fostering inclusion and wellbeing.
