New Collectives offer an opportunity for ageing communities to connect face-to-face via facilitated discussions online to experience laughter, joy and belonging in the comfort of their own home.
Using technology, connectivity and inspired facilitators, aged or immobile members join to contribute, share what’s important and discuss topical issues, overcoming feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Being part of a community is well documented by universities and medical studies as a way we increase self esteem and extend life longevity.
Access is simple, via Tablets/Laptops and includes a technical support team.
Collectives focus on creating greater fulfilment and connection throughout our life.
