Improving the Lives of Older People is a community group with the aim of reducing loneliness and isolation.  ILOP has created three community projects aimed at addressing this need: Tech and Talk, Alonely Monologues and a Community Retirement Programme.

One of those themes was the isolation caused by the lack of understanding of computer technology and the era of the “Internet of Things”; on-line shopping, email etc.

Also, in today’s community, there is a lack of recognition of the effects of isolation in older people. These possibilities become critical nearer the point of retirement.
