Innovation - Initiatives to Alleviate Loneliness Symposium 2019 | Friends For Good
In May 2019, Friends for Good hosted its first symposium to a sold out audience.
Innovation: Initiatives to Alleviate Loneliness, was an opportunity for academics, not-for-profits, governments and businesses to discover, discuss and contribute to initiatives tackling loneliness right now.
This symposium was a chance for individuals to be inspired, get connected and stay up-to-date with organisations that are addressing the needs of all people suffering from or affected by loneliness in our communities.
A big thanks to our sponsors for your support to host this event, all of our speakers and presenters for your time, effort and involvement. Thanks to our Friends for Good volunteers who have worked hard to ensure the symposium was a success and finally to all delegates who have attended.
