Connecting with people and places in Thamesmead
Connecting Thamesmead works to bring people together to reduce loneliness and isolation, improving people’s health and wellbeing as a result.
The programme looks at the complex factors that can lead to loneliness in the town. It also supports initatives that encourage innovative ways of working. That means high-quality services, events and activities reach more people in better ways – now and for years to come.
Connecting Thamesmead is funded by a partnership between Peabody and the public health teams in both Greenwich and Bexley councils. It is running from April 2023 to March 2026.
Backed by research
Independent researchers, DG Cities, have evaluated Connecting Thamesmead since it began. They've invited local people to give their feedback on social connections to make sure the programme responds to people’s wants and needs.
