Seniors In Touch (SIT) started operation in Thamesmead on the 18th Oct 2016.

Our mission is to ensure comfort and wellbeing of the over 50s that live in the Greenwich Borough. This we plan to achieve by providing a range of practical and emotional support services that address the needs of individuals facing loneliness and social isolation.

We want to help them maintain their independence, eat and sleep better, ease pain and discomfort, improve their communication and motor skills and thereby be more independent, enjoy a better quality of life and live longer.

Another primary purpose of SIT is that it provides a respite for care givers and family members. However, experience has shown from our pilot project that users of this service as well as their family members benefit from our activities, social exchange and making new acquaintances. This in turn reduces loneliness and social isolation, promotes social inclusion and community integration.
