Wise Wick Community Research
In 2018 Age UK research identified Hackney Wick as an area where over-65s experience the highest levels of loneliness in the country.
The Wise Wick Community Research Project targeted older people who do not currently participate in Wick Award or other community activities to capture their experiences of social isolation and loneliness.
In addition, community researchers interviewed local experts who have particular insights into the experiences of older Hackney Wick residents who may be socially isolated or lonely.
