Re-engage has launched their new Research Service that aims to support interventions that can reduce loneliness and isolation for older people.
Jess Doyle, Lead for the Research Accelerator Programme at Re-engage, says:
“We have to recognise the experience, knowledge and fantastic life stories older people have and make sure they are not ignored and forgotten. To do that we have to end the isolation that is so damaging, and we aim to achieve this through our new research initiative. By working in partnership with others we hope to build a better understanding of the causes of loneliness and advance towards our goal of creating a world where no one is too old to make a friend.”

Re-engage has also launched their Research 100 programme for their Winter 2024 intake.
Research 100 involves students committing to spending 100 hours over 12 months with Re-engage on various voluntary activities that will build their research experience and skills.
