The Wolfpack Project is a new, ambitious UK-based charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) dedicated to reducing loneliness & social isolation amongst younger people & adults.

What We Do:

Provide our members with one-to-one support through our Buddy Scheme.

Identify the loneliest in society and help support them to engage in activities/hobbies, pursue their interests, attend events and access the one-to-one support of our Buddy Scheme.

We plan of develop a ‘’Wolfpack’’ group in our hometown of Nottingham - and thereafter across the UK - in which members can socialise with a wide-range of people who are also looking to grow their friendship and support networks.

Take away message? We’re different! We recognise that each and every one of us will have experienced loneliness and social isolation at some point in our lives (and we all need to talk about it more!). We’re here to promote increased social contact and a deeper connection with the members of the community around us.
