Hypothetically, if something like this was in your local community, would you support it or think some people might support it?
A method to connect SAHMs with time on their hands with lonely older people in the community, that live alone or are in care homes. To create meaningful relationships across the generations, many older people have no close family.
Connect new mums locally, providing ready made groups of mums with children the same age (opting-in to share details, children's names and ages etc). Provide regular meeting places for people who want to meet face to face.
Online network to post friend requests for people looking to make new connections, providing details of interests, age, availability for meeting etc
A way to connect older people with time and enthusiasm with new mums, especially single parents. Over time, if friendships are formed these people could help to look after the baby to give the mums a break. Some mums only know other mums or have friends who work, if no family live close by it can be hard to find anyone to provide help. I know there are childminders etc but this would be a way to help people make friends.
To provide information about other local charities and agencies who can provide support to those in need (financially, practically etc)
Loneliness is a big problem in society and I wonder if there might be a way to help this, if people had an easier way to make friends in their local community.
Interested to know if anyone thinks this is a good idea. Thanks
