Social isolation and loneliness affect huge swathes of our population with our elderly, disabled, and minority communities being disproportionately affected. This has a negative impact on their physical and mental health.
In the early days at Hornsey, we became aware of customers who were lonely and sometimes appeared vulnerable too. We had the idea of running a ‘Supper Club’ session where people could have a free, hearty, healthy meal in a friendly environment which would help to reduce their isolation, and in turn, have a positive effect on their wellbeing.
