Help in Southwark Requested

First posted at 16:35GMT on 18/09/08 by Emma Southgate

Participle has developed Southwark Circle a membership organisation that helps older people take care of household tasks and keep on top of the little things that crop up at home, forge social connections and take advantage of new opportunities. It is a local organisation enhancing local resources through older people themselves and their neighbours.

Southwark Circle is being launched throughout Southwark in early 2009, and will be piloted in two areas, most likely Peckham and Dulwich East in autumn 2008. If you live in either of these areas, have a parent or relative living in these areas or live locally and want to get involved, then we would like to hear from you…

  • Perhaps you are looking for some help for your parent or relative living in Southwark and would like to find out more about the help that Southwark Circle can offer?
  • Perhaps you are someone, young or old, who lives in one of these areas and would like to help your neighbours in a voluntary, flexible way?
  • Perhaps you are someone who would be interested in the flexible paid roles that Southwark Circle is looking to fill in these areas, roles that allow you to work as little as a couple of hours a week, as and when you can?
  • Or perhaps you are someone who would like some help yourself.

If you identify with any of the above we would like to hear from you, email us .

Would be great to have a little more detail as to exactly what this project entails on the site.

I second Tom’s comment… This sounds like an intriguing project and I would like to know more - but I don’t know if it’s worth bothering you with an email… I work in a third sector organisation on intergenerational projects.
