Innovation - Responses to Loneliness During COVID-19 and Beyond Symposium 2021 | Friends For Good
Friends for Good hosted the second of the Innovation symposium series in March 2021.
Opened by the NSW Ageing and Disability Commissioner, Robert Fitzgerald AM, this event consisted of presentations and discussions highlighting innovative responses to alleviate loneliness.
It was an afternoon of presentations and interactive activities that explored how perceptions of loneliness have changed as a result of the global pandemic.
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 virtually attended.
