Suspending face-to-face programmes and finding new ways to keep people connected
Posted by Alex Smith 
Manchester Cares is suspending programmes involving older people from March 13th until April 30th, due to the Coronavirus.
Our teams are working tirelessly to help older neighbours to have someone to turn to, and someone to talk to, during the Covid-19 crisis. Already hundreds of phone calls have helped us reassure older people in Manchester, to ask what people need, and to provide connection in a disconnecting time.
But we need to do more. Your donation, which will be doubled by one of our generous supporters, will enable a massive effort to help mobilise young people in our communities to support their older neighbours in new ways from afar.
