North London Cares is a community network of young professionals and older neighbours hanging out and helping one another in our rapidly changing city.

They keep our older neighbours looped into the community with their younger counterparts helping to stop loneliness and promoting good will and community spirit. With the pandemic at large they have been organising zoom quizzes. Helping the older community to log in to their computers, which we all know can be a challenge sometimes! Their last zoom quiz included 32 neighbours, older and younger.

Since I was supposed to be running the Hackney Half, which has been postponed, I’ve been training to run a half marathon anyway. And when it gets rescheduled, I’ll run it again!
